In "metroland," julian barnes' debut novel published in 1980, which also earned him the somerset maugham award, the author chronicles the unconventional, striking, and unusual "emotional education" of two young people, christopher and toni. For christopher and toni, who are open to all the ups and downs of the freshman period, on the one hand, the school is both loved and hated; Both beloved and hated family But on the other side, there's a symbol of their free dreams and perhaps a train line that will one day take them to real life. This line, that is, metroland, is more of an expression of a subjective mood. The desires and longings – love, sex, money – of these two young people, who are so caught up in mocking, and even occasionally challenging, society's established values, are actually not much different from those of other young people. However, as they embark on that special trend called life, they realize that they have undergone some profound transformations, they have moved further and further apart from each other, and even at some point, they have clashed. This is undoubtedly the inevitable clash between the one who got married and took the more traditional path (christopher) and the one who stayed more unconventional (toni). Here is julian barnes, in this extremely successful "formation" novel called metroland, with his unique ironic style that has become a harbinger, taking us through all the stops of this special train line, embarking on an indescribable literary journey. Even if all the early works were as funny, insightful, and sophisticated as metroland, one couldn't say the novel was dead. ”new statesmanmetroland is a delicious book Sharp, pointy and based on the pancake. ”listener
