In From Nothing to 90, Will Klein chronicles his life from hardscrabble beginnings as an adopted child in a Saskatchewan family struggling through the “Dirty Thirties” to early success as a newsboy and onto great business achievement despite numerous setbacks throughout his life. In colourful, humorous, observant prose, Will takes readers from Depression-era Saskatchewan through his rise in business in the early days of television to his leadership in a storied public service organization that takes him around the world and into a whirlwind of political machinations that threatens to destroy him. At its heart, From Nothing to 90 is an inspiring story about Saskatchewan: its history, hardships, and opportunities. But it’s also a book about individual initiative, seizing opportunity, and never giving up even after government betrayal and setbacks that might appear insurmountable.

Some have called this book the greatest novella of the modern era, others have named it the finest example of philosophical thinking in the last fifty years. Scholars have declared it a rare and astounding menippean satire, a seriocomic stroll through the carnival of life. Unfortunately few of these admiring critics were sober; those that were not inebriated were of questionable sanity; and none were willing to be quoted here. This is a new and revolutionary book in which the reader constructs the meaning of what is read, and what the obsequious critics missed is that without their construction there is no meaning at all contained within these pages.
