Introduction
About Novel
“The Stories we tell about ourselves serve
as consolatory structures, falsifying origins and ends to
grant order and meaning to the which
has none”.
-Frank Kermonde
Ambiguity of title
Title invites multiple interpretation
Purposeful ambiguity
Typical of Barne’s lucid but malty layered
Corrosive relationship with Veronica
Plot
1 Fine book2 SKILLFULLY PLOTTED3 Boldly conceived4 Questions of ageing and memory 5 Realistic Condition6 Peripetiea
“At some very low level we shall share certain fictions about time
and they testify to the continuity of what is called human nature”
BORROWED TITLE
“Studies in the Theory of Fiction”
Through thwarted love like in ‘Wuthering Heights’
Some Interesting Critical observations

-Robin Leggett “Plot is not the main point, character and life are
Barne facus” - Whispering Gums “It’s a book about history and how we recall
events” - Anita Brookner
