Winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize
By an acclaimed writer at the height of his powers, The Sense of an Ending extends a streak of extraordinary books that began with the best-selling Arthur & George and continued with Nothing to Be Frightened Of and, most recently, Pulse.
This intense new novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he has never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance, one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony Webster thought he’d left all this behind as he built a life for himself, and by now his marriage and family and career have fallen into an amicable divorce and retirement. But he is then presented with a mysterious legacy that obliges him to reconsider a variety of things he thought he’d understood all along, and to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting, with stunning psychological and emotional depth and sophistication, The Sense of an Ending is a brilliant new chapter in Julian Barnes’s oeuvre.
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.
聽聞改編成電影瞭於是把這本呆在我長長長長的待讀列錶許久的書藉來看瞭。讀瞭幾十頁我就有點後悔,這可能是一本獲奬的流水賬,撐過去到後麵突然exciting起來(rollercoaster indeed)(當然聰明的讀者已經發現瞭什麼)。作為一個unreliable narrator來說tony真的是太average瞭(therefore relatable)但又有點說不上來的可愛。總的來講是比較有意思但不是很有意思的小說。另外我要質問一下作者為什麼要abuse “corroboration”……翻兩頁就能碰見強行背單詞orz

“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...

評分 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...
