Author: Julian Barnes

Format: Hardback

Number of Pages: 256


I don t believe in God, but I miss him. Julian Barnes new book is, among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with his brother (a philosopher), a meditation on mortality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, an argument with and about God, and a homage to the French writer Jules Renard. Though he warns us that this is not my autobiography , the result is like a tour of the mind of one of our most brilliant writers. When Angela Carter reviewed Barnes s first novel, Metroland, she praised the mature way he wrote about death. Now, nearly thirty years later, he returns to the subject in a wise , funny and constantly surprising book, which defies category and classification except as Barnesian.
