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.
開篇讓人驚嘆,讀起來卻並不pleasant。敘事節奏:讀到一半纔到達故事簡介的第一句話,最後兩三頁火速抵達真相然後完結。不可靠敘述者:原來前麵常常提到一個傢人,立即說“but she is not part of this story”,是蓄意為之;是他不想說的故事吧
評分重讀
評分The philosophical and dialectical tone throughout belies a weakeness in story-telling and an over-reliance on conveniently melodramatic plot devices. Still a rather enjoyable and quick read about the unreliability of memory and narratives, of old age and remorse, and of the sense of an ending lol.
評分普通吧
評分語言不錯,敘事抓人,但格局略小(導緻我電影不想看瞭)。把一個度過平庸人生的老年人的心理描寫得很生動,和生命中兩個女人的互動寫得好精彩,男人啊,怎麼一把年紀還能這麼幼稚?結局震驚,但是太過戲劇化以至於影響瞭我對此書的評價。
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...

評分一句题外话,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,...
