Winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize

By an acclaimed writer at the height of his powers, The Sense of an Ending extends a streak of extraordinary books that began with the best-selling Arthur & George and continued with Nothing to Be Frightened Of and, most recently, Pulse.

This intense new novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he has never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance, one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony Webster thought he’d left all this behind as he built a life for himself, and by now his marriage and family and career have fallen into an amicable divorce and retirement. But he is then presented with a mysterious legacy that obliges him to reconsider a variety of things he thought he’d understood all along, and to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting, with stunning psychological and emotional depth and sophistication, The Sense of an Ending is a brilliant new chapter in Julian Barnes’s oeuvre.

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 ...

我钦羡那些勇于做自己的人,因为这么做不容易,也不是谁都能做到。 接纳真实的自己一点都不简单,不是谁都愿意去碰自己潜意识的暗流,以及直面这种触碰带来的不安和恐惧。大多人都会选择一种更稳妥和容易的方式来“做自己”,比如美化记忆,不去想潜意识里的暗流。我也这么选择...

近三十年来具有全球影响力的英国作家似乎无论是在写作风格上、作品内容上还是在个人经历上都与我们传统印象里英国作家相去甚远。比如说“英国文坛移民三杰”,比如说政治倾向与女权主义倾向明显的多丽丝-莱辛,比如说自始至终喜欢剑走偏锋的麦克尤恩等等。相对于以上这些作...

開篇讓人驚嘆,讀起來卻並不pleasant。敘事節奏:讀到一半纔到達故事簡介的第一句話,最後兩三頁火速抵達真相然後完結。不可靠敘述者:原來前麵常常提到一個傢人,立即說“but she is not part of this story”,是蓄意為之;是他不想說的故事吧
