Other titles from Notting Hill Editions* Thoughts of Sorts by Georges Perec Introduced by Margaret Drabble Perec was a leading exponent of French literary experimentalism who found humour in the human need for classification. Thoughts of Sorts is a unique collection of philosophical riffs on his obsession with lists, puzzles, catalogues and taxonomies. Mourning Diary by Roland Barthes The day after his mother’s death in October 1977, the influential philosopher Roland Barthes began a ‘mourning diary’. He reflected tersely on a new solitude, on the ebb and flow of deep sadness, and on the dismissal of grief from modern life. The Mystery of Being Human: God, Freedom and the NHS by Raymond Tallis Brilliant polymath Raymond Tallis tackles the big questions: Do we have free will? Can humanity flourish without religion? Will science explain everything? In a fierce polemic ‘Lord Howe’s Wicked Dream’, Tallis exposes the corrupt politicians who are destroying the NHS and the values that have created it. ‘Tallis comes closer than most ever will to knowing everything.’ – The Independent
