Selection from Esther's Essay:
The Authorship of Artifice in Julian Barnes’s The Sense of an Ending
“How often do we tell our own life story?”
-Tony Webster (Barnes 95)
Questioning the merit of character in personal history, narrative and death, Tony Webster guides us in a reflection of his life- exploring his fragmented accumulation of documents, memories and musings.Julian Barnes’s ability to evoke pathos stems from his creation of a hero unable to tell whether he plays witness, narrator, historian or character in his own narrative. Julian Barnes’s use of the epistolary convention renders the written form an artifact of personal history. I will argue that the written text acts as an embodiment of a former self- questioning the extent the medium of message can archive and conceal artifacts of our personal history.
