Napisana w jasnej tonacji książka o odchodzeniu i meandrach naszej pamięci: subtelne połączenie wspomnień z eseistyką. Barnes opowiada o swej rodzinie, o pustych miejscach, pozostawionych przez najbliższych, o pamiątkach po nich. Zastanawia się, czy należy wypełniać obietnice dane zmarłym, polemizuje z bratem, który te same zdarzenia z przeszłości zapamiętał inaczej, rozpatruje śmierć w kategoriach religijnych i świeckich, cytując filozofów i... piosenkę Brela.

Unfortunately, he really only has about 100 pages worth of thoughts on death, but felt the need to extend this book to a full 243 pages. There is so ...
