Description
A love triangle—more precisely, an adultery triangle—between Stuart, Oliver, and Gillian, virtuously explored by Barnes in the novel “Talking Heads” (1991), is back— in 2000 Barnes publishes a sequel. Here, the meeting of the same characters ten years later is described: Stuart returns from America and again appears in the life of his ex-wife and former best friend; the men, as if they had stopped competing over the woman, but clearly communicate with each other more than they should.
The continuation of the dark comedy about middle-class English people turned out even better: even more psychologically precise, even more masterful. It’s even more polished… virtuosic prose. In “Love,” Barnes is merciless—Oscar Wilde-style—savagely witty: it doesn’t just cut—he slices up his heroes without a knife; every line is a “tush”—tush-tush-tush; and, by God, you almost clap for some parts.
