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.
太囉嗦瞭。When we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others.
評分論記憶之不可信
評分我本來真的隻打算找Kermode那本…巴恩斯以前沒讀過,不過這本中文版比原作評分高好多…不懂。布剋的書沒讀過幾本,但好像一直沒找到點。略瑣碎,略solipsism。 結尾瞎。然後這本書讓我這種兩天前還在paper裏堅持歷史objectivity的人情何以堪…
評分很好看,但是結尾有點太模糊瞭,或者說委婉的不夠力道。
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。
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...

評分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 ...
