Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
In his widely acclaimed new collection of stories, Julian Barnes addresses what is perhaps the most poignant aspect of the human condition: growing old.
The characters in The Lemon Table are facing the ends of their lives–some with bitter regret, others with resignation, and others still with defiant rage. Their circumstances are just as varied as their responses. In 19th-century Sweden, three brief conversations provide the basis for a lifetime of longing. In today’s England, a retired army major heads into the city for his regimental dinner–and his annual appointment with a professional lady named Babs. Somewhere nearby, a devoted wife calms (or perhaps torments) her ailing husband by reading him recipes.
In stories brimming with life and our desire to hang on to it one way or another, Barnes proves himself by turns wise, funny, clever, and profound–a writer of astonishing powers of empathy and invention.
Review:
"Funny, sad, playful, savagely accurate about human relationships and failings, THE LEMON TABLE is vintage Julian Barnes."
Rachel Hore, Literary Review, March 2004
Review:"THE LEMON TABLE is very crisply done: there's pathos, there's humor...and, as you'd expect, there's a lot of fine writing."
Christopher Tayler, London Review of Books, 04/15/2004
