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.
You put together two things that have not been put together before. And the world is changed...' Julian Barnes's new book is about ballooning, photography, love and grief; about putting two things, and two people, together, and about tearing them apart. One of the judges who awarded him the 2011 Man Booker Prize described him as 'an unparalleled magus of the heart'. This book confirms that opinion.
"Affecting, profound." (Guardian )
"An alluring-sounding melange of history, fiction and memoir." (Sunday Times )
"While one might expect a Barnes book to impress, delight, move, disconcert or amuse, the last thing for which his work prepares us is the blast of paralysingly direct emotion that concludes Levels of Life. The extraordinary power of the final segment, in which Barnes writes with astonishing precision about mourning and grief, those areas of human experience so often camouflaged with evasion and silence. It's writing so intense that one has trouble meeting its gaze: a love song to "the heart of my life, the life of my heart" as well as a fearsome acknowledgement of the depths of a survivor's grief, when "what is taken away is greater than the sum of what was there"." (Tim Martin Daily Telegraph )
很私人的写作。与其说是写给读者看的,不如说是Barnes自己的碎碎念。前面热气球的部分读者不知其所然,第三章悼念亡妻的文字却是真诚动人。人与人之间本质上时无法对痛苦感同身受的,Barnes不断写到旧友们小心翼翼的态度、问他是否好点了、有没有新伴侣,这些都让他如何的痛苦...

如果誰有權評價這本書,應該是巴恩斯自己。太私人瞭,去講究裏麵的深度啊文學技巧啊之類的,個人覺得都沒什麼意義。這本書隻是讓作者尋求一個他能接受的形式,以錶達的。大半在講熱氣球,攝影,可字裏行間的隱喻,調子都特彆傷感。金庸經曆喪子之痛後,在《倚天屠龍記》的後記裏說,張三豐目睹張翠山死去的片段寫得太膚淺瞭,真實人生中不是這樣的,「因為那時我還不明白」。我以為Barnes也會說,《福樓拜的鸚鵡》那本書裏鰥夫的感受是不對的。結果他卻說,訝異於自己在三十年前就準確預言瞭如今的感受。我不知道這兩者哪個讓我更難過(葬禮上念Pure Story那章,太虐瞭)。翻一些review的時候看到巴恩斯的近照,他真是老瞭,頭發全白瞭。
评分It’s just the universe doing its stuff
评分Barnes悼念亡妻的私作,heartbroken narrative.
评分三星半吧,三星給書本身,半星給他太太死瞭。他的情感描寫都比較嚴肅,這是對的,但是情感的維度會因為嚴肅而縮小,最後打動大眾打動不瞭小眾。不喜歡嚴肅情感的,可以把這位當作什麼中産階級來批判一下,百發百中,隻是一點意義都沒有。他的講座貌似比書有趣得多。
评分ballooning, photography, bohemians, uxoriousness, Sehnsucht
