Booker Prize Winner- Julian Barnes

Julian Barnes (Tuesday 18 October) named the winner of this year's £50,000 Man Booker Prize for Fiction for The Sense of an Ending.

London-based Barnes has been the bookies' favourite to win since the shortlist announcement on 6 September. The source of the description of the prize as ‘posh bingo', Barnes has been shortlisted three times in the past for Arthur and George (2005), England, England (1998) and Flaubert's Parrot (1984).

Barnes' first novel for six years, The Sense of an Ending went straight into the bestseller list on publication. It is the story of a seemingly ordinary man who, when revisiting his past in later life, discovers that the memories he holds are less than perfect. Laced with trademark precision, dexterity and insight, this is the work of one of the world's most distinguished writers. At the time of the shortlist announcement, 2011 judge Gaby Wood commented: ‘that the tragedy trapped in this mundane life should be so moving, and so keenly felt by the character that he can only confront it half-blindly and in fragments, is the mark of a truly masterful novel.'

THE VILLAGE BOOKS BOOK CLUB

'The Cat's Table' by Michael Ondaatje received great praise at last week's meeting. All agreed it is a very well written, gorgeously descriptive coming of age tale about an 11 year old boy aboard a ship destined for England. It is almost autobiographical in tone which everybody seemed to enjoy and is rich with interesting character sketches.

Next month we'll be discussing 'The Chosen' by Arlene Hunt and we'll be featured on TV3's Ireland AM!
