评分"History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation."是句厉害的话。不过我还是觉得作者格局不够大,通俗点说就是聪明然而mean mean的。#弃坑!学习!#
评分第二本Barnes。读他总感觉像是在读一个民国作家,和董桥老先生差不多的感觉…咳咳咳。Reminds me of Swift's Waterland. Unconsolable sadness embedded with immense peacefulness. Tony is not pathetic, is he? He was just trying to be a part of a grand tragedy, instead, had become a mere witness, which may account for his pretentiousness.memory is a funny thing, can it ever be real?
评分4.5 stars. Barnes is very skillful. It's a thriller and memoir told by an unreliable narrator. A cautionary tale of how history or memory can be deceiving. Superb storytelling and structure. I don't quite like the bleakness though, and being led by Barnes to turn the pages compulsively like a donkey being teased with a carrot.

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.
Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is in middle age. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove. The Sense of an Ending is the story of one man coming to terms with the mutable past. Laced with trademark precision, dexterity and insight, it is the work of one of the world's most distinguished writers.
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...
