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...

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.
卧病在床,这本小书是不错的消遣。表面上似乎在表达个人记忆与历史的建构性、不可靠性,但细读之后的直觉是,巴恩斯很巧妙地规避了很多东西,却暗示了更多。叙述技巧是一流的,在故事世界之外反身性地指涉了读者与小说的关系。 人生的终结是死亡,但终结感则是the impossilibility of change;小说的终结是故事最后一个字,但其终结感则是读者体验他者的失败:"You don't get it. You never did"。巴恩斯躲藏在平淡无奇的主人公面具下,残忍地撕破了现代人麻木的感受力和生存状态。Adrian才是他的化身。
评分布克奖实至名归。远高于我的期待,”Elegant, playful, and remarkable“
评分结尾大跌眼镜,有些过于故弄玄虚了。
评分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。
