Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Oliver, Stuart and Gillian have been friends and lovers. It's ten years since they last met, and a lot has changed. For a start, Oliver has married Gillian, and Stuart, his erstwhile best friend, hates him for it. Not just because Stuart was once married to Gillian but because he still loves her. His last memory of Gillian was of seeing her, covered in blood, after a vicious row with Oliver, and he has never relinquished his vow to rescue her. Under the guise of repairing old friendships--"all blood under the bridge"--mild-mannered Stuart insinuates himself into their life, offering advice, support, even giving Oliver a job. As Oliver is manoeuvred into a crippling depression, Stuart unveils his deadly masterplan.
In Love, etc., the sequel to Talking It Over, Barnes adopts the same technique he used previously, allowing his characters to speak their innermost thoughts and secrets directly to the reader. The result is a bewitchingly intimate excursion into a taut triangle of betrayal and jealousy. With painstaking detail, he creates a vibrant portrait of modern love--as funny as it is cruel, as absurd as it is deep. Few contemporary writers can portray Middle England, with all its temptations, so darkly.-- Matthew Baylis -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
Pressestimmen
"'Of its kind - and I still don't dare to say what kind that might be - it is perfect' Daily Telegraph; 'Complex, clever and compassionate, Love, etc is Barnes on top form' Time Out; 'This is a wonderfully entertaining novel... A work as skilled and satisfying as this can be nothing other than affirming: Barnes' delicate balance between laughter and despair lifts his entertainment into art' The Times."

The Sequel Trap,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Love, etc (Taschenbuch)
In an interview Barnes once said that in order to write it was necessary to convince himself the book he was currently working on had something new to contribute, not only to his own artistic range but to English literature as such. If this is still true for him, 'Love Etc.' is a huge step back. Not only has it been done before - it was Barnes who first did it. In 'Talking It Over' Barnes offered up an entirely new narratological angle, the novelistic equivalent of the reality show, the interview. A dedicated reader of his books, I can't help feeling disappointed at his picking up where he left off a decade ago. If you liked 'Talking It Over' you'll like 'Love Etc.' and you'll discover how Oliver and friends are doing today. But don't expect the usual exhiliration of picking up a Barnes book and waiting for him to show you the unexpected (or the commonplace seen from an unusual perspective). 'Love Etc.' is about as good as a Hollywood sequel: it'll get the fans in, it'll entertain you, it may even have some new features to offer - but you will inevitably be disappointed BECAUSE it meets your expectations.

Slightly disappointing,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Love, etc (Taschenbuch)
Having read TALKING IT OVER and ENGLAND,ENGLAND with immense pleasure, I could not help feeling disappointed with LOVE,ETC. Some argue that it is typical for Barnes only to portray unloveable characters; fair play to him, but in LOVE ETC it just gets too much, even though his insights in what makes us tick are remarkable and to some extent shockingly true.
