Signed by Author to title page.

Author's ninth novel. Written as an intimate series of crosscutting monologues, Barnes picks up the love triangle in Talking it Over a decade hence, as each character takes turns, Rashomon-like, to address the reader and argue for their version of the truth.

Shortlisted three times previously for the Man Booker Prize (Flaubert's Parrot (1984), England, England (1998), and Arthur & George (2005)), Barnes finally won it in 2011 with The Sense of an Ending. "An alarmingly perfect novel [...] Barnes's verbal mimicry is inventive, accomplished, revelatory, and also fun." –The New York Review of Books
