In the Face of Death
Peter Noll. Penguin Books, $8.95 (272pp) ISBN 978-0-14-008165-7
Rejecting treatment for terminal cancer, Noll, a Swiss jurist who died in 1983, kept a journal of reflections about his physical decline, personal relationships and the mystery of death and immortality. In this ``clear, straightforward translation,'' PW found a ``vigorous, sophisticated man who articulates the process of dying for his own solace and, perhaps, that of others.'' (Dec.)
