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.
Julian Patrick Barnes (born 19 January 1946) is an English writer. Barnes won the Man Booker Prize for his book The Sense of an Ending (2011), and three of his earlier books had been shortlisted for the Booker Prize: Flaubert's Parrot (1984), England, England (1998), and Arthur & George (2005). He has also written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh. In addition to novels, Barnes has published collections of essays and short stories.
In 2004 he became a Commandeur of L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. His honours also include the Somerset Maugham Award and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize.
"我们屏蔽和修改记忆,除了有意识地求得良心安谧,也可能是以今时之心境揣度过去,或抹黑或描金而本人全不自知。历史无所谓“客观”之说,历史既然由人来书写,则必然受限于人的视阈、心理与动机。"——豆瓣

评分作者喜欢抖金句讲人生难免让人觉得有点solipsistic,但最后几十页读起来颇为酣畅痛快,尤其是与全书开头的密集闪回,技巧可以说十分精湛了。
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。
书摘: 这整个追究责任的行为难道不就是一种逃避吗?我们责备某个个人,目的就是为其余人开脱罪责。或者呢,我们归咎于历史进程,为一个个个体免责……在我看来,似乎有——或者曾经有——一条个体责任链,所有责任不可或缺,但此链并非无限之长,不然谁都可以轻率归咎于他人...
