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.
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.
近三十年来具有全球影响力的英国作家似乎无论是在写作风格上、作品内容上还是在个人经历上都与我们传统印象里英国作家相去甚远。比如说“英国文坛移民三杰”,比如说政治倾向与女权主义倾向明显的多丽丝-莱辛,比如说自始至终喜欢剑走偏锋的麦克尤恩等等。相对于以上这些作...
評分 評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...
論記憶之不可信
评分First read as a memoir, then as an account of stream of consciousness, then as a romance, and then as a mystery. Actually it is more like a brief discussion of history: a winner's story or a loser's escaping dream.
评分太囉嗦瞭。When we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others.
评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…
评分前麵滿滿的格調被最後的狗血真相給毀瞭。
