Recycling Jimmy - Andy Tilley

After a bungled, hilarious suicide attempt and a subsequent hospital stay, Jimmy's life is set on a course he could never have imagined with his new best pal, fellow resident and practical joker Kevin. Together the two form a business to assist the suicidal who, like Jimmy, couldn't quite pull off dying the first time, with the added wrinkle of filming and distributing each case for profit. After a terrible practical joke gone wrong, Jimmy resolves to put what he has learned about human suffering to better use by helping, rather than exploiting, those desperate souls who want to end their lives. An outrageous romp through the darkest aspects of human nature, this compelling novel is told with brilliant black humour and a unique zest for life.
