'We always believe that changing our mind is an improvement, bringing a greater truthfulness to our dealings with the world and other people. It puts an end to vacillation, uncertainty, weak-mindedness. It seems to make us stronger and more mature. Well, we would think that, wouldn't we?'

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.

This short book is really an essay but somehow feels like a conservation with my half just being thoughts that came to mind as I listened to a pleasant voice relating stories, ideas, and opinions full of well read and understood literary references.

A wonderful conversation

Julian Barnes does not need an introduction. But his short (what a pity!) reminiscing about ideas and facts of his life are intelligent and thought provoking even when kind of hilarious… either for the text or his reading… do not miss it!

(Very) Well thought of, written and done !

For people who like to think and reflect, and for wordsmiths, this book is a treasure. Will most likely listen to it a second time.

Captivating from its beginning to its end.
