Julian Barnes has ignored the conventional boundaries of literary genres in most of his works. Similarly, Photography, Ballooning, Love and Sorrow is a combination of history and creative inquiry and a fictional autobiography that has turned into a compelling writing about love and sorrow - a book that Barnes lost in mourning for his wife and literary agent. Written by the late Pat Kavanagh. Pat died of a brain tumor in 2008.
The book includes three essays: the sin of height, on the surface, and the loss of depth. In the first essay, Nadar (photographer and inventor of the 19th century) combines photography and aviation science and becomes the first aerial photographer. In the second essay, Barnes draws an imaginary relationship between the actress Sarah Bernard and the adventurer Fred Burnaby. The third essay describes Barnes' love for his wife – and his tenacity in this love, even after Kavanagh's death. All three chapters begin with similar sentences: you put two things together that have never been put together. completes
