Description

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 listeners with the fruits of her relentless curiosity: pilgrimages to China and the Grand Canyon; a catalog of 1940s sexual euphemisms; and a glimpse of technology in the twenty-first century when The Absolute Truth can be universally accessed.
