Changing My Mind

“The Booker Prize winner, now 79 years old, offers a witty, personal reflection on the ways we continually convince ourselves that 'we are consistent human beings rather than seaweed tossed around by the tides.'” Washington Post “It’s always heartening, given shortened attention spans, to find that the long essay still exists in book form. And hats off to Notting Hill Editions which still commissions contemporary authors to write them. Julian Barnes’s Changing My Mind is a pleasing example of the genre.” Evening Standard In this engaging and erudite essay, critically acclaimed writer Julian Barnes explores what is involved when we change our minds: about words, about politics, about books; about memories, age and time.
