Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is in middle age. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove. The Sense of an Ending is the story of one man coming to terms with the mutable past. Laced with trademark precision, dexterity and insight, it is the work of one of the world's most distinguished writers.
Julian Patrick Barnes is a contemporary English writer of postmodernism in literature. He has been shortlisted three times for the Man Booker Prize--- Flaubert's Parrot (1984), England, England (1998), and Arthur & George (2005), and won the prize for The Sense of an Ending (2011). He has written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh.
Following an education at the City of London School and Merton College, Oxford, he worked as a lexicographer for the Oxford English Dictionary. Subsequently, he worked as a literary editor and film critic. He now writes full-time. His brother, Jonathan Barnes, is a philosopher specialized in Ancient Philosophy.
He lived in London with his wife, the literary agent Pat Kavanagh, until her death on 20 October 2008.
簡單得讓人有點不習慣...
評分太囉嗦瞭。When we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others.
評分聯想到哥本哈根和殺戮演繹,關於記憶的不可靠和不可追溯,和曆史的自欺欺人。Tiiiiiiiiime is on my side. 真是人天大的幻覺。
評分4.5 stars. Barnes is very skillful. It's a thriller and memoir told by an unreliable narrator. A cautionary tale of how history or memory can be deceiving. Superb storytelling and structure. I don't quite like the bleakness though, and being led by Barnes to turn the pages compulsively like a donkey being teased with a carrot.
評分臥病在床,這本小書是不錯的消遣。錶麵上似乎在錶達個人記憶與曆史的建構性、不可靠性,但細讀之後的直覺是,巴恩斯很巧妙地規避瞭很多東西,卻暗示瞭更多。敘述技巧是一流的,在故事世界之外反身性地指涉瞭讀者與小說的關係。 人生的終結是死亡,但終結感則是the impossilibility of change;小說的終結是故事最後一個字,但其終結感則是讀者體驗他者的失敗:"You don't get it. You never did"。巴恩斯躲藏在平淡無奇的主人公麵具下,殘忍地撕破瞭現代人麻木的感受力和生存狀態。Adrian纔是他的化身。
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 ...
評分巴恩斯曾称布克奖是“一场高级的赌博”,是否能够得奖,完全取决于评委会的成员是谁,他们的喜好是什么,就像是否中彩票一样。但在得奖之后,巴恩斯表示他确实松了一口气。 首先,我要说,这本书真是一件可以放在书架上观赏的艺术品,即使你根本不想阅读,你也...
評分书摘: 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...
