刊于《经观书评》 “过去永远不会死,它甚至还没有过去。”美国小说家威廉·福克纳在《修女安魂曲》里的这句经常被引用的名言在朱利安·巴恩斯获得2011年布克奖的小说《终结的感觉》里找到了回应。这部200页都不到的短小作品远比它看上去有份量。《终结的感觉》是对时间(主...

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.
越往后听越无聊,有些关于生命,生活的思考有点意思,但现目前我兴趣也不是很高,起先对这本书产生兴趣还不是因为封面的帅哥。可能等我年纪大一点看会好一点?
评分I left because of us.
评分history, memory, accumulation, accountability, the most important thing is : unrest..
评分Emmm…… 文字比较平实,容易读,有点絮絮叨叨,更多像是在灌鸡汤,格局很小,想写人生可是写得不是很合我心意。结局狗血。
评分语言不错,叙事抓人,但格局略小(导致我电影不想看了)。把一个度过平庸人生的老年人的心理描写得很生动,和生命中两个女人的互动写得好精彩,男人啊,怎么一把年纪还能这么幼稚?结局震惊,但是太过戏剧化以至于影响了我对此书的评价。
