In his widely acclaimed new collection of stories, Julian Barnes addresses what is perhaps the most poignant aspect of the human condition: growing old.
The characters in The Lemon Table are facing the ends of their lives–some with bitter regret, others with resignation, and others still with defiant rage. Their circumstances are just as varied as their responses. In 19th-century Sweden, three brief conversations provide the basis for a lifetime of longing. In today’s England, a retired army major heads into the city for his regimental dinner–and his annual appointment with a professional lady named Babs. Somewhere nearby, a devoted wife calms (or perhaps torments) her ailing husband by reading him recipes.
In stories brimming with life and our desire to hang on to it one way or another, Barnes proves himself by turns wise, funny, clever, and profound–a writer of astonishing powers of empathy and invention.
硃利安•巴恩斯(1946— ),英國當代著名作傢。父母皆為法語教師,哥哥在牛津大學教授哲學,妻子帕特•凱伐納是著名的文學經紀人。巴恩斯畢業於牛津大學,曾參與《牛津英語辭典》的編纂工作,做過多年的文學編輯和評論傢。
“聰明”是巴恩斯作品的一貫標識。八十年代他以突破性之作《福樓拜的鸚鵡》入圍布剋奬決選,躋身英國文壇一流作傢之列。此後,獲各大文學奬項無數,三進布剋奬決選,並於2011年憑藉《終結的感覺》贏得大奬,同年獲大衛•柯恩英國文學終身成就奬。
巴恩斯也深得法國讀者的好感,他是唯一一位同時獲得法國梅第奇奬和費米娜奬的作傢,並先後榮獲法國文化部頒發的文學藝術騎士、軍官、司令勛章,堪稱在法國最受歡迎的英國作傢之一。
語言很跳躍,需要耐心,但有迴報。
評分Stories about aging and death. 人生步入老年時刻的各種壓抑瞬間 相戀而無法在一起的人 最後因為不適宜的話讓長達幾十年的secret love瞬時瓦解 坐在咖啡店裏 自顧自迴憶的寡婦們甚至分不清坐在對麵的人是fiend還是隻是Ally 結婚五十年後丈夫突然宣布要離開妻子與鄰居生活 現實?疑惑?荒謬否?Both. 老年並不等同與安樂與幸福 故事裏模糊 細碎的細節纔是真正的老年生活 the silence裏麵關於音樂與寂靜關聯的部分非常喜歡 最後 death is around the corner這句覺得莫名朋剋
評分短篇小說集,有幾篇很不錯,有些則比較沉悶。

这是我读的第三本朱利安.巴恩斯Julian Barnes的书。前两本书,终结的感受、福楼拜的鹦鹉,准确地说,Mr.Barnes赢得了我的尊重。但这本书他赢得了我的心。 如果说云图是文学模仿音乐的某款习作,那么这本柠檬的桌子则是毫无疑问的精品。 这本小说由几个完全没有任何联系的小故事...
