评分记忆就像飞机的黑匣子,安然无恙的飞行后内存会自动清空,能被人看到的往往是出了问题的部分。
评分作者喜欢抖金句讲人生难免让人觉得有点solipsistic,但最后几十页读起来颇为酣畅痛快,尤其是与全书开头的密集闪回,技巧可以说十分精湛了。

The Sense of an Ending is a 2011 novel written by British author Julian Barnes. The book is Barnes' eleventh novel written under his own name (he has also written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh) and was released on 4 August 2011 in the United Kingdom. The Sense of an Ending is narrated by a retired man named Tony Webster, who recalls how he and his clique met Adrian Finn at school and vowed to remain friends for life. When the past catches up with Tony, he reflects on the paths he and his friends have taken. In October 2011, The Sense of an Ending was awarded the Man Booker Prize. The following month it was nominated in the novels category at the Costa Book Awards.
A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning new chapter in Julian Barnes's oeuvre.
This intense novel follows Tony Webster, a middle-aged man, as he contends with a past he never thought much about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present.

But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
Short on emotional range, and the narrator is at best unconvincing: arid, willful, and at times shows too much alacrity to shift his "reevaluation" of the past (more so nearer the end of the novel); one also wonders if this meditation on ageing, death and ...
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...
