Death

Synopsis of Death

«Death» is Julian Barnes's essay on death, published by Penguin Random House in paperback (128 pages, in English).

Julian Barnes confronts death with irony and intimacy: he reflects on the human obsession with the end, on what it means to miss God, whether death can be good for one's career, and why we end up turning into our parents.

Part of the Vintage Minis series, a collection of short books by great writers on human experiences. The text comes from Nothing to Be Frightened Of, by Julian Barnes.

Readers of essays and philosophy with a taste for intelligent humour will find here a close approach to death.
