After the best-selling Arthur & George and Nothing to Be Frightened Of , Julian Barnes returns with fourteen stories about longing and loss, friendship and love, whose mysterious natures he examines with his trademark wit and observant eye.
From an imperial capital in the eighteenth century to Garibaldi’s adventures in the nineteenth, from the vineyards of Italy to the English seaside in our time, he finds the “stages, transitions, arguments” that define us. A newly divorced real estate agent can’t resist invading his reticent girlfriend’s privacy, but the information he finds reveals only his callously shallow curiosity. A couple come together through an illicit cigarette and a song shared over the din of a Chinese restaurant. A widower revisiting the Scottish island he’d treasured with his wife learns how difficult it is to purge oneself of grief. And throughout, friends gather regularly at dinner parties and perfect the art of cerebral, sometimes bawdy banter about the world passing before them.
Whether domestic or extraordinary, each story pulses with the resonance, spark, and poignant humor for which Barnes is justly heralded.
作者简介朱利安•巴恩斯（1946— ）,英国当代著名作家。父母皆为法语教师，哥哥在牛津大学教授哲学，妻子帕特•凯伐纳是著名的文学经纪人。巴恩斯毕业于牛津大学，曾参与《牛津英语辞典》的编纂工作，做过多年的文学编辑和评论家。
“聪明”是巴恩斯作品的一贯标识。八十年代他以突破性之作《福楼拜的鹦鹉》入围布克奖决选，跻身英国文坛一流作家之列。此后，获各大文学奖项无数，三进布克奖决选，并于2011年凭借《终结的感觉》赢得大奖，同年获大卫•柯恩英国文学终身成就奖。
巴恩斯也深得法国读者的好感，他是唯一一位同时获得法国梅第奇奖和费米娜奖的作家，并先后荣获法国文化部颁发的文学艺术骑士、军官、司令勋章，堪称在法国最受欢迎的英国作家之一。
