Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A New York Times Best Book of the Year

Deadly serious, masterfully playful, and surprisingly funny, Nothing to Be Frightened Of is a riveting, highly personal tour of the human condition and what might follow the final diagnosis.

A meditation on mortality as only Julian Barnes could 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. An atheist at twenty, an agnostic at sixty, Barnes looks into the various arguments for and against and with God, and at his own bloodline, which has become, following his parents' death, another realm of mystery. Nothing to Be Frightened Of reveals how we all might go about living with the inevitable.
