Selected as one of the Telegraph's 50 Best Summer Reads, 2009.

This audiobook is, among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with Julian Barnes' 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 Barnes warns us that "this is not my autobiography," the result is a tour of the mind of one of our most brilliant writers.
