Maurice Saatchi is dead.
He is standing in front of the Gates of Heaven. Arrival halls worse than Heathrow. Queues. Overcrowding. A tidal wave of Paradise seekers. ID scans. Voice and facial recognition. X-ray examinations. Background checks. It all seems like a bad dream.
His tests expose abnormalities. He is charged with multiple breaches of immigration law and detained pending a full jury trial. The verdict will reveal the biggest secret of all time: why some people go to Heaven and others to Hell.
Do Not Resuscitate is a bold statement. 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 luminaries like Marilyn Monroe,Pablo Picasso,Chairman Mao,and Margaret Thatcher. In seeking admission to Heaven,Saatchi offers a defence like no other.
