Nothing to Be Frightened of

Nothing to Be Frightened of

&#39;I don&#39;t believe in God, but I miss Him.&#39; Julian Barnes&#39; new book is, among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with his philosopher brother, a meditation on mortality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, an argument with and about God, and a homage to the French writer Jules Renard. Though he warns us that &#39;this is not my autobiography&#39;, the result is a tour of the mind of one of our most brilliant writers.<br />
