Do Not Resuscitate

Do Not Resuscitate is a bold literary experiment. Maurice Saatchi, a towering figure in the worlds of business and politics, frames his unsparing self-portrait with the conceit of a celestial trial in which his application to pass through the Gates of Heaven is heard before a jury featuring such luminaries as Marilyn Monroe, Pablo Picasso and Margaret Thatcher. In seeking to answer the charges of 'harmful conduct' and making 'false or misleading representations', Saatchi offers a defence like no other.
