Winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize
One of The Atlantic 's Best Books I Read This Year
The Sense of an Ending is a 2011 novel written by British author Julian Barnes. The book is Barnes' eleventh novel written under his own name (he has also written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh) and was released on 4 August 2011 in the United Kingdom. The Sense of an Ending is narrated by a retired man named Tony Webster, who recalls how he and his clique met Adrian Finn at school and vowed to remain friends for life. When the past catches up with Tony, he reflects on the paths he and his friends have taken. In October 2011, The Sense of an Ending was awarded the Man Booker Prize. The following month it was nominated in the novels category at the Costa Book Awards.
A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning new chapter in Julian Barnes's oeuvre.
This intense novel follows Tony Webster, a middle-aged man, as he contends with a past he never thought much about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony thought he left this all behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

读后感
History, to some degree, is indeed the lies of the victors and the self-delusions of the defeat. But when it comes to terms with life, the very core of what happened in the time we live in, is there, or can we possibly state who is the victor and who is t...
评分 评分Short on emotional range, and the narrator is at best unconvincing: arid, willful, and at times shows too much alacrity to shift his "reevaluation" of the past (more so nearer the end of the novel); one also wonders if this meditation on ageing, death and ...
评分我钦羡那些勇于做自己的人，因为这么做不容易，也不是谁都能做到。 接纳真实的自己一点都不简单，不是谁都愿意去碰自己潜意识的暗流，以及直面这种触碰带来的不安和恐惧。大多人都会选择一种更稳妥和容易的方式来“做自己”，比如美化记忆，不去想潜意识里的暗流。我也这么选择...
评分“当你年轻的时候，你觉得你可以预料岁月可能带来的痛和凄凉。你想像自己孤身一人，离了婚，寡居；孩子们长大后离你而去，朋友们逐渐死去。你想像自己失去了地位，失去了欲望——以及欲望的能力。你可能会进而考虑自己朝死亡而去，无论你能唤来多少陪伴，这过程也只能独自...

评分前半部故弄玄虚的铺陈在后半部哗哗哗地开出花来 最后啪的一声 烟消云散
评分前1/3挺有意思的，中间2/3也还行，后面节奏变得很奇怪，introspective的东西太多了，看吐了。拖拖沓沓，whiny。我一向喜欢看人活得明白的样子，但是这男主让人觉得很creepy????。喜欢不起来，我感觉Julian Barnes的书我不会再看了，好反胃哦。
评分好狗血的结尾!
评分翻了一下这里的记录, 没想到本科四年基本上维持了每个月一本书的正经的阅读; 然而这最新的标记和上一次标记已然相隔了一年; 去年一整年我都没有看过书啊
