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.
Which of two stuffed parrots was the inspiration for one of Flaubert's greatest stories? Why did the master keep changing the colour of Emma Bovary's eyes? And why should it matter so much to Geoffrey Braithwaite, a retired doctor haunted by a private secret? In "Flaubert's Parrot", Julian Barnes spins out a multiple mystery of obsession and betrayal (both scholarly and romantic) and creates an exuberant enquiry into the ways in which art mirrors life and then turns around to shape it.
用在这本书上的时间并不算多,但感受始终在变化。起初我大概跟所有随意地想去评论什么的人一样想用“有趣”来概括自己的一切观感,但是嘲讽的情绪埋伏在草率的心情之下,而这也恰恰是作者在写作这本书时所采取的基本态度,建立于个人智力愉悦感之上的揶揄,因为你不能期待这样...
评分曾经见过有人把作家朱利安•巴恩斯的《10 1/2章世界史》归为历史类书籍,这自然是个错位的笑话;而将另一部作品《福楼拜的鹦鹉》纳入人物传记的范畴,想来只是歧义中的一义,虽然朱利安•巴恩斯更愿意视之为小说,但为福楼拜立传的本意却不可抹杀,尽管这是一部似是而非...
评分19世纪的伟大法国作家居斯塔夫·福楼拜(1821-1880)以其不朽名作《包法利夫人》、《情感教育》、《萨朗波》等现代小说闻名,亦以其书信闻名。福楼拜一生书信往来频繁,具有重要的美学价值和文献价值,其中的真知灼见惠及后世众多文坛巨匠。由《通信集》我们获知,福楼拜的主要...
评分汤永宽译本的前言中误将巴恩斯当作因《福楼拜的鹦鹉》(1984)和《英格兰,英格兰》(1998)两获布克奖。实际上,他只是两获布克奖提名,当年获得布克奖的分别是阿妮塔•布鲁克娜的《旅馆》(1984)和伊恩•麦克尤恩的《阿姆斯特丹》(1998)。在布克奖历史上两度获奖的作...
评分15年读过巴恩斯的10又1/2世界史,当时就觉得巴恩斯的写作风格很特别,今年终于有时间把他最有名的一本书看完了。果然比世界史更杂糅,但也更有趣。也许是因为福楼拜本人比圣经更有意思吧,也许更因为作者对福楼拜比对圣经更有感情,因为这是“一个小说家写给另一个小说家的旷世...
A inspiring fictional non-fiction!
评分So full of cranky yet plausible maxims, amuse and sadden me. The religion of despair, to remain calm while gazing down into the black pit at the feet, stoicism and pessimism. Happiness lies in the imagination not the act, first in anticipation later in memory, the secret of happiness is to be happy already, sadness is a vice. Sigh...
评分被各位大神推荐……
评分喜欢看似散乱随意却密密交织的文字。(熬过最初十几页,竟发现后面的文字如此有趣)
评分Julian Barnes好像就是很喜欢写似真似假的历史。
