Beschreibung

On the occasion of his eightieth birthday, one of our great novelists delivers a playful and profound work about memory, love, and the writer''s endgame. Shortly after our narrator, a writer named Julian, begins this compact book by discussing the workings of involuntary memory, he interrupts himself with a bulletin to the reader: "There will be a story--or a story within the story--but not just yet.” Of course, whether "Life and memory can be so . . . quixotic, don''t you find?" Barnes uses both his novelistic memory and his (real?) personal diary entries to examine not just the quixotic relationship of Jean and Stephen but his writer''s eye upon it, and how his efforts in their behalf add up in the end. Having promised them he''d never write about them, he breaks the promise to fulfill one, amply, to his readers, in this delightful and poignant novelist’s game that only Julian Barnes knows how to play.
