Quatrième de couverture
A remarkable and risk-taking book, breezily philosophical and light-fingered, funny, and also genuinely affecting in that it touches both the heart and the head' Herald
A fighter pilot, high above the English Channel in 1941, watches the sun rise; he descends 10,000 feet and then, to his amazement, finds the sun beginning to rise again.
Staring at the Sun charts the life of Jean Serjeant, from her beginning as a naive, carefree country girl before the war through to her wry and trenchant old age in the year 2020. We follow her bruising experience in marriage, her questioning of male truths, her adventures in motherhood and in China; we learn othe questions she asks of life and the often unsatisfactory answers it provides
'I am delighted to salute, from Mexico, the universal English voice of Julian Barnes, as he breaks barriers of conventional time and genre, creates characters from ideas and language, and stares not only at the sun but at the reader's intelligence' Carlos Fuentes, New York Times
'None of Mr Barnes's previous work...has quite prepared us for the bewildering maturity of Staring at the Sun...it dazzles in depth' Harpers & Queen

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Fair. Jean Serjeant, the heroine of Julian Barnes's wonderfully provocative novel, seems ordinary, but has an extraordinary disdain for wisdom. And as Barnes--author of The Porcupine and Talking It Over--follows her from her childhood in the 1920s to her flight into the sun in the year 2021, he confronts readers with the fruits of her relentless curiosity: pilgrimages to China and the Grand Canyon; a catalog of 1940s sexual euphemisms; and a glimpse of technology in the twenty-first century (when The Absolute Truth can be universally accessed). Solid binding. Moderate edgewear on the boards. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item. Book. N° de réf. du vendeur 123638169
