About the book

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of Sense of an Ending, "an elegant memoir and meditation" (The New York Times Book Review) that grapples with the most natural thing in the world: the fear of death.

> Deadly serious, masterfully playful, and surprisingly hilarious, Nothing to Be Frightened Of is a riveting display of how this supremely gifted writer goes about his business and a highly personal tour of the human condition and what might follow the final diagnosis.

    A brilliant collection of loosely joined thoughts and anecdotes on death, delivered in beautiful words. Humorous, light-handed, but not lighthearted, just a great read about death and dying, and how a lot of other writers and artists perceived it. A book you can pick up again and again, each time a little closer to death, and you may marvel at the fact, that you are going to die, as so many did before you, and how many thoughts can be thought regarding this simple fact.
