| Staring at the Sun - Julian Barnes |
Jean Serjeant, the heroine of Julian Barnes�s wonderfully provocative novel, seems ordinary, but has an extraordinary disdain for wisdom. And as Barnes�winner of the Man Booker Prize for The Sense of an Ending�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 catalogue of 1940s sexual euphemisms; and a glimpse of technology in the twenty-first century (when The Absolute Truth can be universally accessed).
