The stories in Julian Barnes' long-awaited third collection are
attuned to rhythms and currents: of the body, of love and sex,
illness and death, connections and conversations. A divorcee falls
in love with a mysterious European waitress; a widower relives a
favourite holiday; two writers rehearse familiar arguments; a
couple bond, fall out and bond again over flowers and vegetable
patches. And at a series of evenings at 'Phil & Joanna's', the
topics of conversation range from the environment to the
Britishness of marmalade, from toilet graffiti to smoking, as we
witness the guests' lives in flux. Ranging from the domestic to the
extraordinary, from the vineyards of Italy to the English seaside
in winter, the stories in Pulse resonate and spark.
