NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the bestselling Booker Prize-winning author of Sense of an Ending an elegant memoir and meditation (The New York Times Book Review) that grapples with the most natural thing in the world: the fear of death. A memoir on mortality as only Julian Barnes can write it one that touches on faith and science and family as well as a rich array of exemplary figures who over the centuries have confronted the same questions he now poses about the most basic fact of life: its inevitable extinction. If the fear of death is the most rational thing in the world how does one contend with it An atheist at twenty and an agnostic at sixty Barnes looks into the various arguments for against and with God and at his own bloodline which has become following his parents death another realm of mystery. Deadly serious masterfully playful and surprisingly hilarious Nothing to Be Frightened Of is a riveting display of how this supremely gifted writer goes about his business and a highly personal tour of the human condition and what might follow the final diagnosis..
