- Levels of Life is a 2013 memoir by English author Julian Barnes, dedicated to his wife Pat Kavanagh, a literary agent who died in 2008. The book comprises three essays, from the progress from sky, to earth, to six feet under.
* The Sin of Height: The first essay explores Anglo-French ballooning in the 19th-century concentrating on photographer and inventor Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, later known simply as Nadar, who combines photography and aeronautics as the first aerial photographer. Also appearing is English colonel and pioneer balloonist Fred Burnaby and Sarah Bernhardt who is photographed several times by Nadar.
* On the Level: Here Barnes fictionalizes the relationship between Fred Barnaby and Sarah Bernhardt, Fred wanted her to marry him...
* The Loss of Depth: Barnes's wife Pat does not appear until the final essay, where Barnes contemplates her no longer being there: "the fact that someone is dead may mean that they are not alive, but doesn't mean that they do not exist." (en)
