Death: Vintage Minis by Julian BarnesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A close friend gave it to me a few days not telling me anything about it, now I realize he did a huge favour to me.
The most striking thing about this book is, ofcourse, the title. DEATH. The inevitable, 100% guaranteed phenomenon. Inescapable no matter what. What should be done about it. Should we give up on this life and be remorseful about the oblivion. Or the fear of oblivion to be precise... Why not just commit suicide and be done with it? Tough questions...
This short or mini book is worth reading for anyone struggling with the questions mentioned above. Especially writers, who suffer the most of it. There are some very interesting insights about the process of writing and about writers. Looking forward to read other works from this brilliant author.
