About His Friend Who Commit Suicide

________________________________________________________________________________________________

He had a better mind and
a more rigorous temperment than me.

He thought logically, and then acted
on the conclusion of logical thought.

Whereas most of us, I suspect, do the opposite:
we make an instinctive decision, then build up
the infrastructure of reasoning to justify it.
Julian Barnes
The Sense Of An Ending

WHAT THE NARRATOR SAYS ABOUT THIS NOVEL:

How often do we get to tell our own life story?
How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts?

And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around
to challenge our account, to remind us that our life
is not our life, merely the story we have told
about our life. Told to others, but–
mainly–to ourselves.
