What A Life! is a work of satirical fiction by Edward Verrall Lucas and George Morrow published in 1911. The book is best known for its inventive narrative technique: the story takes the reader through the life of an upper-class British gentleman, with the plot being dictated by the book's illustrations, which the authors took from a copy of Whiteley's General Catalogue (Whiteley's was a London department store at the time). It was included in the 1936 MOMA exhibition "Fantastic Art, Dada, and Surrealism".
Though the book is still copyrighted in the United Kingdom, it is in the public domain in the USA. It was first published on August 17, 1911 by Methuen & Co Ltd. Dover reprinted it in the United States in 1975, and it saw a British reprinting in 1987 by William Collins Sons & Co Ltd.
