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.

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...
评分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 评分简单得让人有点不习惯...
评分论记忆之不可信
评分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。
评分我本來真的只打算找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。布克的書沒讀過幾本,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里堅持歷史objectivity的人情何以堪…
评分太囉嗦了。When we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others.
