The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes

The themes here about memory, perception, and aging are handled really excellently, but the story arc was underwhelming and the style was straight up dull. Crafts an unreliable narrator well but not in a way that stands out. I feel like this could've been a powerful essay instead.
