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.
我才开始明白 都因为快乐不能重来今天才难以释怀 难忘怀 都因为悲伤不想重复今天更懂得关怀 才开怀 过去的不该 都变成应该 不能不离开 只能够想开 怕什么愉不愉快 只记得痛不痛快 谁不是这样更好活下来 对上一个伤害 对下一个悔改 谁不是这样越爱越明白 序言说,巴...
評分 評分书摘: 这整个追究责任的行为难道不就是一种逃避吗?我们责备某个个人,目的就是为其余人开脱罪责。或者呢,我们归咎于历史进程,为一个个个体免责……在我看来,似乎有——或者曾经有——一条个体责任链,所有责任不可或缺,但此链并非无限之长,不然谁都可以轻率归咎于他人...
評分 評分History, to some degree, is indeed the lies of the victors and the self-delusions of the defeat. But when it comes to terms with life, the very core of what happened in the time we live in, is there, or can we possibly state who is the victor and who is t...
First read as a memoir, then as an account of stream of consciousness, then as a romance, and then as a mystery. Actually it is more like a brief discussion of history: a winner's story or a loser's escaping dream.
评分"History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation."是句厲害的話。不過我還是覺得作者格局不夠大,通俗點說就是聰明然而mean mean的。#棄坑!學習!#
评分第一部分非常精彩,中間有點boring,結尾意料之外,很哲學的小書
评分audiobook讀的超棒!原以為是一齣鬧劇,到最後發現是一場悲劇。徹徹底底的悲劇。關於曆史的定義,不可信的記憶,所留下的記錄,當事人的心態。你覺得自己很成熟,卻隻是選擇避免受傷,把這稱為生存本能,不去考慮年輕時一切的可能性。你淋花,交稅,認真過日子,年邁七十,到底錯過瞭什麼。聽開頭的時候還以為又是那種無病呻吟的書,結果卻寫得這麼好。
