Julian Barnes wins Booker Prize

I haven't read The Sense of an Ending but I did read a short story of his in The New Yorker this summer. I liked it so much I looked him up, have been meaning to pick up some of his books ever since. He's a great writer, and I'm sure the win is well-deserved.

The short story is called Homage to Hemmingway. It's in the July 4th issue of The New Yorker. If anyone has a subscription and wants to read it, here's the link.

Thanks for the link

I'm not a huge Barnes fan, but I read "The Sense of an Ending" last night and puzzled over it for ages before I got to that "Oh - I get it!" moment.

I'm sure people with a literary education will have gotten the point from the start, but for Little I it was particularly satisfying. So thanks, Julian Barnes. That was very nicely done
