The Next Big Thing was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. At seventy-three, Herz is struggling to know what to do with his final years. The world feels increasingly bewildering, and he can no longer see his place in it. Questions and misunderstandings haunt Herz like old ghosts. Should he travel? Should he sell his flat, or perhaps propose marriage to an old friend he has not seen in thirty years? Herz doesn't quite know what the next big thing in his life should be – but he knows he must do something . . .
