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.
第一部分非常精彩,中间有点boring,结尾意料之外,很哲学的小书
评分重读。Barnes始终拥有近乎残忍的简洁与精准,但许是自我保护作祟,切割得太干净利落,抽离得太远,思虑太重,走去另一个极端:字里行间处处透着难以接近的淡漠,主人公的挣扎与困惑似乎激不起叙事者内心一丝波澜,情感层面如同一片灰败的荒原。真是奇怪的阅读感受。
评分卧病在床,这本小书是不错的消遣。表面上似乎在表达个人记忆与历史的建构性、不可靠性,但细读之后的直觉是,巴恩斯很巧妙地规避了很多东西,却暗示了更多。叙述技巧是一流的,在故事世界之外反身性地指涉了读者与小说的关系。 人生的终结是死亡,但终结感则是the impossilibility of change;小说的终结是故事最后一个字,但其终结感则是读者体验他者的失败:"You don't get it. You never did"。巴恩斯躲藏在平淡无奇的主人公面具下,残忍地撕破了现代人麻木的感受力和生存状态。Adrian才是他的化身。
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.
评分布克奖实至名归。远高于我的期待,”Elegant, playful, and remarkable“
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,...
评分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...
