Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394558219. 199 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration and design by Havier Romero. Signed by the Author. keywords: Europe England Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In this constantly surprising novel, Julian Barnes focuses on the life of an 'ordinary' woman, and reveals a world filled with ordinary miracles. The novel begins with a morning on which the sun rises twice. It encompasses a century in the life of Jean Serjeant, from her innocent 1920s girlhood to her flight into the sun in the year 2021. It carries Jean through seemingly unexceptional (albeit in their own way miraculous) experiences: growing up and growing old, falling in and out of love, the ceremonies of birth and death. Yet constantly, and increasingly, we encounter the unexpected: pilgrimages to the Far East and the Grand Canyon; a partially comprehensible catalogue of 1940s birth-control methods; a hilarious meditation on what it must be like to expire in midair; a glimpse of technology in the twenty-first century (when The Absolute Truth can be universally accessed). But at the novel's core, beyond its incidents and excursions, is the intensity, the heat, the transforming power of Jean's insatiable curiosity about the world. We see her from her earliest years-even in the midst of her boldest adventures-wondering, probing, testing the truths that she is given by her parents, her uncle, her husband, her child, and by the pilot named Prosser who unwittingly lures her into staring at the sun. We see her asking others and herself questions both minuscule (Why don't Jews enjoy golf? How is it possible to smoke an entire cigarette without the ash falling off? Why is the mink excessively tenacious of life?) and large (Is death absolute? Is religion nonsense? Is suicide permissible?). Her questions, and the possible answers to them, resonate through the novel, deepening our sense of wonder at the tenacious hold that life exerts on all of us. inventory #7908. Signed by the Author.
