About this listen

 Julian Barnes' new book is, among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with his brother (a philosopher), a meditation on morality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, an argument with and about God, and homage to the French writer Jules Renard.

Though he warns us that 'this is not my autobiography', the result is a tour of the mind of one of our most brilliant writers.

So disppointing compared with his other work! Dreary! Not even sad! Cannot be recommended - head to his 'history of the world .. '! Now that is a good story - or series of stories!

Very dreary obsession with death
