Levels of Life: A Memoir -- Julian Barnes

<b>From the bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of <i>The Sense of an Ending</i> comes an elegant triptych of history, fiction, and memoir--a "wise, funny, and devastating ... discourse on love and sorrow" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>). <p/></b>In this "deeply stirring" book (<i>The Boston Globe</i>), Julian Barnes writes about ballooning and photography, love and grief; about putting two things, and two people, together, and tearing them apart; and enduring after the incomprehensible loss of a loved one. Powerfully rendered, exquisitely crafted in Barnes's erudite style, this searing work confirms the author as an unparalleled magus of the heart.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Julian Barnes<br><b>Publisher:</b> Knopf Publishing Group<br><b>Published:</b> 07/01/2014<br><b>Pages:</b> 144<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780345806581<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>People Weekly</i> 08/31/2014 pg. 24<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p>JULIAN BARNES was born in Leicester and moved to London in 1946.
