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.
联想到哥本哈根和杀戮演绎,关于记忆的不可靠和不可追溯,和历史的自欺欺人。Tiiiiiiiiime is on my side. 真是人天大的幻觉。
评分第二本Barnes。读他总感觉像是在读一个民国作家,和董桥老先生差不多的感觉…咳咳咳。Reminds me of Swift's Waterland. Unconsolable sadness embedded with immense peacefulness. Tony is not pathetic, is he? He was just trying to be a part of a grand tragedy, instead, had become a mere witness, which may account for his pretentiousness.memory is a funny thing, can it ever be real?
评分矫情,但还不至于让人讨厌。
评分论记忆之不可信
评分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.
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...
评分书摘: 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...
评分刊于《经观书评》 “过去永远不会死,它甚至还没有过去。”美国小说家威廉·福克纳在《修女安魂曲》里的这句经常被引用的名言在朱利安·巴恩斯获得2011年布克奖的小说《终结的感觉》里找到了回应。这部200页都不到的短小作品远比它看上去有份量。《终结的感觉》是对时间(主...
评分“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...
评分一句题外话,现在书籍的腰封简直是太浮夸了,弄的好像没有个奖项、没有什么名人推荐就不好意思初版了似的。 这本《终结的感觉》,以我现在的年龄看来,可能还没有太多共鸣,但是让我想起一些小事。可能这种经历每个人都有,有些记忆可能是因为愧疚,甚至耻辱,永远不想提起,...
