Streets, Austin, Texas
Time: 7.00 p.m.
The Ransom Center presents a discussion with
writer Julian Barnes, whose archive is housed at the center.
In this Signatures Series event, Barnes talks about his new
memoir Nothing to be Frightened Of. The book is a family
memoir, an exchange with his brother (a philosopher), a meditation
on mortality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, an
argument with and about God, and a homage to the French writer
Jules Renard.
A book signing follows. Seating is free, but
limited.
Items from Julian Barnes's archive are on display
in the current exhibition The Mystique of the Archive,
which runs through January 4.
