Praise for A Life Without End

“It’s funny, profound, brilliantly researched, and fiendishly artful.”

Le Figaro

“A touching and contemplative literary curve ball.”

Femina

“Beigbeder has produced one of the most human, touching, relevant, and funny stories about passing time, the acceptance of aging, and the need to love. If you’re looking for something quite unlike anything else to read, then choose this.”

Le Parisien

“A call to arms against transience from a Beigbeder who is back in top form, with all his trademark wit.”

Lire

“This mad philosophical and biological quest is a life-affirming and intelligent reflection on the meaning of life. Decidedly ambitious, Monsieur Beigbeder!”

Psychologies Magazine

“As always, Frédéric Beigbeder knows perfectly well how to seize burning issues. In A Life Without End he captures immortality, the desire it inspires, and its likelihood. A tale falling somewhere between satire and the confidences of a father, a lover, and a writer who wants to live forever.”

Transfuge

“Behind this wild pursuit of immortality appears a sharper and deeper reflection than you would expect.”

Elle

“An audacious romance, between obsessions and hope.”

Marie Claire

“Only a rogue like Beigbeder could pack so much seriousness, cheerful simplicity, and self-irony into such a complex current topic.”

Basler Zeitung

“This novel, which spills over in all directions, is also rich with the striking and beautiful observations of a man who is only now learning how to look.”

NDR Kultur

“It’s a dark topic, but not a dark novel. Beigbeder narrates with wonderfully black humor and a desire for abysmal considerations.”

ORF

“If anyone has breathed new life into literary stardom, it is Frédéric Beigbeder, the most glamorous writer in France.”

De Volkskrant

“Although this book may not be able to extend your life, it could certainly change it.”
