具体描述
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.

读后感
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 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...

前面满满的格调被最后的狗血真相给毁了。
评分First read as a memoir, then as an account of stream of consciousness, then as a romance, and then as a mystery. Actually it is more like a brief discussion of history: a winner's story or a loser's escaping dream.
评分矫情，但还不至于让人讨厌。
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。
评分论记忆之不可信
