To Rise Again at a Decent Hour by Joshua Ferris is a sharp, darkly funny novel that blends literary fiction with satire and mystery. It follows an ordinary man pulled into an unsettling search for meaning, identity, and belonging when his life begins to unravel in unexpected ways.
With keen observations, offbeat humor, and a deeply human core, Ferris explores modern loneliness, faith, obsession, and the strange need to find purpose in a chaotic world. Readers who enjoy thoughtful, character-driven fiction with wit and emotional depth will find much to savor here.
