Krátky popis
The character's in Julian Barnes' new collection of stories are
growing old and facing the end of their lives - some with bitter
regret, some with resignation and others still with raging
defiance. The settings range from nineteenth-century Sweden and
Russia to a suburban 'Barnet Shop', where the narrator measure out
his life in haircuts, and a South Bank concert hall where a music
lover carries out an obsessive campaign of revenge against those
who cough in concerts. In 'Knowing French' a fiercely independent
eighty-year old begins a correspondence with an author - 'Dear Dr
Barnes' - that enriches both their lives. A woman reads elaborate
recipes to her sick husband in 'Appetite', a retired soldier in
'Hygiene' makes his annual trip to attend a regimental dinner, run
errands for his wife and spend the afternoon with a tart called
Babs. In a collection that is wise and funny, clever and moving,
Julian Barnes has created characters who passions and longings are
made all the stronger by the knowledge that, for them, time is
almost at an end.
