具体描述
Winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize
By an acclaimed writer at the height of his powers, The Sense of an Ending extends a streak of extraordinary books that began with the best-selling Arthur & George and continued with Nothing to Be Frightened Of and, most recently, Pulse.
This intense new novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he has never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance, one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony Webster thought he’d left all this behind as he built a life for himself, and by now his marriage and family and career have fallen into an amicable divorce and retirement. But he is then presented with a mysterious legacy that obliges him to reconsider a variety of things he thought he’d understood all along, and to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting, with stunning psychological and emotional depth and sophistication, The Sense of an Ending is a brilliant new chapter in Julian Barnes’s oeuvre.

读后感
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...
评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...
评分 评分刊于《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...

Emmm…… 文字比较平实，容易读，有点絮絮叨叨，更多像是在灌鸡汤，格局很小，想写人生可是写得不是很合我心意。结局狗血。
评分普通吧
评分以Tony为视角的叙事主要是在探讨时间因为记忆，或者“历史”，形成的回潮（也就是后来说的nolstalgia），以及这种回潮发掘出来的悲剧与救赎，作者觉得根源还是unrest。但是Adrian那边书里只说了冰山一角。
评分他和天才以前是同學，屬經常在一起討論哲學問題。 他上學時談個女朋友。在分手時有了第一次。 天才上了劍橋。 女朋友甩了主人公，跟了天才。 天才自殺了。 主人公平庸地結婚、生子、離婚，到了六十多歲，成了一個禿頭老爺子。 他和前妻不時見面，計劃著旅行，但從沒有實施。 前妻是個明確的人，而前女友是個謎一般的人。 一天，一個福特夫人給了他五百美金的遺贈，並說要把天才的日記交給他。 他不認識這個福特夫人。後來才發現是前女友的媽媽。 他想拿到天才的日記。死纏爛打地向前女友發郵件。 但前女友回復都很粗略。最後寄回天才日記一頁的照片，另外一個是主人公年輕時罵他們的信件。 他繼續死纏爛打，約了前女友兩次。四十年沒見。 但每次見面她都很冷淡、憤懣。尤其是第二次見到路上由人看護的幾個人後。 他後來猜到，她和天才有一個兒子。而這是
评分开篇让人惊叹，读起来却并不pleasant。叙事节奏：读到一半才到达故事简介的第一句话，最后两三页火速抵达真相然后完结。不可靠叙述者：原来前面常常提到一个家人，立即说“but she is not part of this story”，是蓄意为之；是他不想说的故事吧
