Synopsis
English author Julian Barnes (FLAUBERT'S PARROT; ENGLAND, ENGLAND) has been contemplating death from an early age, and in this meandering, witty, and beautiful reverie on being and nothingness, he shows the delightful depths of his dark fascination. His approach towards his subject is rich and varied, drawing on his personal experiences and attitudes, including the death of his parents, and also the writings of Montaigne, Stendhal, Flaubert, and others on the subject of death. Occasionally his brother Jonathan, a philosopher, appears via email to criticize Barnes's beliefs. The result is a bracing book, bleak and funny in equal measures, full of old truths and older mysteries, a book to make you reconsider your values, and to give you pause before you go to bed. Selected as one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2008.

Publisher's Note
Based on his own memories and those of his philosopher brother, an insightful memoir about the author's family by the author of Arthur & George offers a thoughtful meditation on the inevitability of human mortality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, and an argument for, against, about, and with God. 35,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
"As its brilliant title punningly hints, NOTHING TO BE FRIGHTENED OF offers an extended meditation on human mortality, but one that is neither clinical nor falsely consoling. Instead, the witty and melancholy author...simply converses with us about our most universal fear....Beautifully done."
(08/31/2008)

"How can you be frightened of Nothing? On this simple question Barnes has hung an elegant memoir and meditation, a deep seismic tremor of a book that keeps rumbling and grumbling in the mind for weeks thereafter."
(10/03/2008)
