The Life Before Me George Kriflik

Max is in trouble! But he can't work out what is happening. He hears one of his favourite songs, "Spirit in the Sky," which immediately triggers a memory. Max is brought back to reality by hearing Dario's voice and realizes that Dario is talking about him. Max is getting that creepy feeling that he is at his own funeral. Max's mind keeps dashing off with memories, triggered by snippets of what Max hears being said.

One of his very few friends from Hobart is persuaded to move to Sydney to join Max and to share some of his exploits. Max manages to get into a long-term relationship, but this does not stop Max from having a fling with the wife of a boss.

Max's mind at times comes back to his transgressions, and he wonders if one of these has led to his predicament. But what is to become of Max? Is it really Max's funeral?
