My last read for - I didn't quite finish it in November because it demanded slow reading and reflection of me.

The Sense of an Ending is a story about the paradoxes of existence, the unreliability of memory and the way we curate our memories to tell a manipulated version of the story of our lives.

It's utterly brilliant.

If I was going to read a Julian Barnes novel tomorrow, which one would it be? As supporting info, I’m a big reader of contemporary fiction but just haven’t yet got around to Barnes. I didn’t enjoy The Sense of an Ending or The Noise of Time btw. Should I stick to Martin Amis?

History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation.

I just finished The Sense of an Ending by . It was OK, beautifully written and wonderfully narrated by Morant, but I liked his Man in the Red Coat much better.
