A premature farewell

In his latest book, Barnes writes about the constant themes of his books, such as love and death. Also, the presence of concepts such as memory and memory can be seen in his previous works, and they are discussed in more detail in this book.

Currently, the use of the concepts of memory and memory is very common and common in languages. But many times these concepts are used without sufficient scrutiny. In addition to splitting these two concepts and going through their surface layers, Julian Barnes tells a story that has clearly passed through the heart of memories and through the filter of memory. His story has a big hole, which only small parts are mentioned until the end of the book. This gap is the years between the separation of two lovers from each other. Barnes can be considered a master of using brevity. Going through these middle years and describing the first and second acquaintance of these two lovers makes the story breathtaking and does not throw the story off the rhythm. These long years have not had the author's desired charm. Barnes has a kind of obsession with detailing a memory. He constantly questions his fidelity to the exact quotation, but then revises it by looking at the situation from another angle (for example, by reviewing his manuscripts). The possibility of fake memories is confirmed by both psychological scientific theories and Julian Barnes has discussed it in his other book titled "I Changed My Mind". Our memories are not narrated without interference, the way the narrator looks at the narration interferes in the definition of a memory. About memory, he writes somewhere in the book: "We all know that memory is identity; Take the memory from a person, what else is left? Just some kind of animal life in the moment." But later on, he changes his mind and quoting Jules de Goncourt, who suffered from dementia, writes: "However, for practical purposes, memory is identity, and the identity of memory seems to remain stable in the absolute sense of identity, even though it is disturbed, even if it is unanchored." Although demented, Jules de Goncourt was still alive and answered when called.
