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.
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.
重读
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2666被人用这本书换走,挺不情愿的,但如果有人可以借此获得那样的阅读体验,也算是为世界做贡献了。
评分电影根本没把小说拍出来嘛
评分听闻改编成电影了于是把这本呆在我长长长长的待读列表许久的书借来看了。读了几十页我就有点后悔,这可能是一本获奖的流水账,撑过去到后面突然exciting起来(rollercoaster indeed)(当然聪明的读者已经发现了什么)。作为一个unreliable narrator来说tony真的是太average了(therefore relatable)但又有点说不上来的可爱。总的来讲是比较有意思但不是很有意思的小说。另外我要质问一下作者为什么要abuse “corroboration”……翻两页就能碰见强行背单词orz

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...
