具體描述
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.

讀後感
刊于《经观书评》 “过去永远不会死，它甚至还没有过去。”美国小说家威廉·福克纳在《修女安魂曲》里的这句经常被引用的名言在朱利安·巴恩斯获得2011年布克奖的小说《终结的感觉》里找到了回应。这部200页都不到的短小作品远比它看上去有份量。《终结的感觉》是对时间（主...
評分besides others * Everyday is Sunday. 多好的墓志铭啊 * Automatically, I ate a chip. Then another. There wasn’t enough salt on them. That’s the disadvantage of fat chips. They have too much potatoey inside. With thin chips, not only is there more crispy o...
評分对于英国作家朱利安·巴恩斯(Julian Barnes)而言，2011年是收获颇丰的一年。他先是荣获了具有终身奖性质的“大卫·柯恩英国文学奖”，而后又凭借小说《终结感》(The Sense of an Ending)成功捧得布克奖。这部小说在市场上也有不俗的成绩，在英国问世的最初两个月间，就已经创下...
評分我钦羡那些勇于做自己的人，因为这么做不容易，也不是谁都能做到。 接纳真实的自己一点都不简单，不是谁都愿意去碰自己潜意识的暗流，以及直面这种触碰带来的不安和恐惧。大多人都会选择一种更稳妥和容易的方式来“做自己”，比如美化记忆，不去想潜意识里的暗流。我也这么选择...
用戶評價
前麵滿滿的格調被最後的狗血真相給毀瞭。
评分第二本Barnes。讀他總感覺像是在讀一個民國作傢，和董橋老先生差不多的感覺…咳咳咳。Reminds me of Swift's Waterland. Unconsolable sadness embedded with immense peacefulness. Tony is not pathetic, is he? He was just trying to be a part of a grand tragedy, instead, had become a mere witness, which may account for his pretentiousness.memory is a funny thing, can it ever be real?
评分第一部分非常精彩，中間有點boring，結尾意料之外，很哲學的小書
评分論記憶之不可信
评分結尾大跌眼鏡，有些過於故弄玄虛瞭。
