Menlo-Atherton Center for Performing Arts Menlo-Atherton High School 555 Middlefield Rd. Atherton, CA 94027
ONLINE SALES HAVE ENDED. TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR. NOTE: Mr. Barnes will sign copies of The Noise of Time and up to 3 other books per guest. Like Thomas Pynchon and Haruki Murakami, Julian Barnes is one of the most private, focused, solitary writers of our time. However, he is notoriously candid, open, and engaging in on-stage interviews, which is why we're so looking forward to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet him at his only West Coast event and hear him interviewed by Michelle Richmond, New York Times bestselling author of The Year of Fog.
For many of us, we are still taken aback by the elegant and provocative novel,The Sense of an Ending, which earned Julian Barnes the Man Booker Prize in 2011.The judges took 31 minutes to declare the winner, and the head judge said that The Sense of an Ending" spoke to humankind in the 21st Century."
Even if you aren't a reader of fiction or you've never picked up a Julian Barnes book before, this event will still resonate with you. As JFK once said, If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth. Join the discussion of what happens to art and artists under oppression and what happens when government seeks to control and even co-op artists and their art.
This is a rare opportunity to hear one of our most brilliant writers talk about his creative process, his inspirations, and so much more, and just in time for the film adaptation of The Sense of an Ending, which is slated to release in 2016.
