评分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...
评分事情发生了 一天与先生为一件多年前的事起了争执。记得那天下班路上,他骑车带着我,行到一个路口,前面也有一人骑车带人,从车上掉下来一样东西,我们到跟前时,发现是一小卷用皮筋绑着的钱,连忙叫喊前面那两人,把钱还给了他们。 在这里,我俩的记忆不同了。我记得的是,...

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.
重读。Barnes始终拥有近乎残忍的简洁与精准,但许是自我保护作祟,切割得太干净利落,抽离得太远,思虑太重,走去另一个极端:字里行间处处透着难以接近的淡漠,主人公的挣扎与困惑似乎激不起叙事者内心一丝波澜,情感层面如同一片灰败的荒原。真是奇怪的阅读感受。

评分结尾大跌眼镜,有些过于故弄玄虚了。
评分audiobook读的超棒!原以为是一出闹剧,到最后发现是一场悲剧。彻彻底底的悲剧。关于历史的定义,不可信的记忆,所留下的记录,当事人的心态。你觉得自己很成熟,却只是选择避免受伤,把这称为生存本能,不去考虑年轻时一切的可能性。你淋花,交税,认真过日子,年迈七十,到底错过了什么。听开头的时候还以为又是那种无病呻吟的书,结果却写得这么好。
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?
