Levels of Life
«Levels of Life is, deep-down, a heartfelt attempt to chronicle the strange journey that follows the death of a loved one.»
Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
You put together two things that have not been put together before. And the world is changed…
In Levels of Life Julian Barnes gives us Nadar, the pioneer balloonist and aerial photographer; he gives us Colonel Fred Burnaby, reluctant adorer of the extravagant Sarah Bernhardt; then, finally, he gives us the story of his own grief, unflinchingly observed.
This is a book of intense honesty and insight; it is at once a celebration of love and a profound examination of sorrow.

Anmeldelser
«Levels of Life is, deep-down, a heartfelt attempt to chronicle the strange journey that follows the death of a loved one.»
Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
«A Taj Mahal made of paper not white marble.»
Peter Conrad, Observer
«A magnificent blast of unflinching prose.»
Daily Telegraph
«Powerful and well-articulated.»
Roger Lewis, Daily Mail
«It is true that the private language of love doesn’t generally translate; yet how vividly Barnes invokes the power and delicacy of what is lost to him.»
Jane Shilling, Sunday Telegraph
«It is extraordinary... [It] would seem to pull off the impossible: to recreate, on the page, what it is like to be alive in the world.»
Emma Brockes, Guardian
«This is a book of rare intimacy and honesty about love and grief. To read it is a privilege. To have written it is astonishing.»
Ruth Scurr, The Times
«It’s an unrestrained, affecting piece of writing, raw and honest and more truthful for its dignity and artistry... Anyone who has loved and suffered loss, or just suffered, should read this book, and re-read it, and re-read it.»
Martin Fletcher, Independent
«Levels of Life is both a supremely crafted artefact and a desolating guidebook to the land of loss.»
John Carey, Sunday Times
