Winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize
One of The Atlantic 's Best Books I Read This Year
The Sense of an Ending is a 2011 novel written by British author Julian Barnes. The book is Barnes' eleventh novel written under his own name (he has also written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh) and was released on 4 August 2011 in the United Kingdom. The Sense of an Ending is narrated by a retired man named Tony Webster, who recalls how he and his clique met Adrian Finn at school and vowed to remain friends for life. When the past catches up with Tony, he reflects on the paths he and his friends have taken. In October 2011, The Sense of an Ending was awarded the Man Booker Prize. The following month it was nominated in the novels category at the Costa Book Awards.
A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning new chapter in Julian Barnes's oeuvre.
This intense novel follows Tony Webster, a middle-aged man, as he contends with a past he never thought much about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony thought he left this all behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
Julian Patrick Barnes (born 19 January 1946) is an English writer. Barnes won the Man Booker Prize for his book The Sense of an Ending (2011), and three of his earlier books had been shortlisted for the Booker Prize: Flaubert's Parrot (1984), England, England (1998), and Arthur & George (2005). He has also written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh. In addition to novels, Barnes has published collections of essays and short stories.
In 2004 he became a Commandeur of L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. His honours also include the Somerset Maugham Award and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize.
作者喜欢抖金句讲人生难免让人觉得有点solipsistic,但最后几十页读起来颇为酣畅痛快,尤其是与全书开头的密集闪回,技巧可以说十分精湛了。

评分虽然猜出了结局的一盆狗血,但不得不说这种看似自嘲自省实则自作聪明的人物描写实在是立像的最高水准,Julian Barnes真是太坏了,看得人浑身不舒服又心悦诚服。
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...
评分 评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...
评分 评分我才开始明白 都因为快乐不能重来今天才难以释怀 难忘怀 都因为悲伤不想重复今天更懂得关怀 才开怀 过去的不该 都变成应该 不能不离开 只能够想开 怕什么愉不愉快 只记得痛不痛快 谁不是这样更好活下来 对上一个伤害 对下一个悔改 谁不是这样越爱越明白 序言说,巴...
