The Lemon Table

In his widely acclaimed new collection of stories, Julian Barnes addresses what is perhaps the most poignant aspect of the human condition: growing old.

The characters in The Lemon Table are facing the ends of their lives–some with bitter regret, others with resignation, and others still with defiant rage. Their circumstances are just as varied as their responses. In 19th-...more

Shelves: short-story-collections

I read and enjoyed Julian Barnes' nonfiction ruminations about death and how we face up to it in Nothing to Be Frightened Of so when I saw his fictional endeavor on the library shelf, I picked it up.

The stories here revolve around people approaching death and how they deal with wasted opportunities, their mortality, and dealing with their failing minds and bodies. It's a melancholy though not depressing book - Humans seem fated to meet their ends with disappointment and fear and there's never en...more

These are a fantastic group of stories, each one centered in some way on the theme of aging and dying, though they are neither depressing nor sentimental.

Each story's characters are living, breathing people with his or her own voice -- and Barnes does achieve a unique voice for each story. (Two of the narrators in two of the stories were living, breathing people -- a famous 19th century Russian writer and a famous modern composer.)

The stories are not only extremely well-written, but highly inve...more

I am so sick of modern contemplative writing, winding and twisting in circles of pointless emotional exploration. I haven't always felt this way about this style of writing and I'm sure my feelings will change again. At this point in my life however, the goal-less internal exploration of characters and their contrived quirkiness is outright depressing and turns me off. Got through the book as far as the story of the Grindewalds(sp?), the Swedish couple, and just couldn't bear anymore of the char...more

"Cheer up! Death is round the corner."

I loved this book. All the stories are about characters approaching death, their desire to hang on to live, and their diffrent reactions towards it. All of these characters have lived, somehow, a horrible life which makes the book a little depressing, especialy since most of the things that happen to them are common in life.
If anyone is interested I'll lend you the book :)

My first Julian Barnes book and certainly not my last. Very funny, dark and clever. Eleven short stories, mostly focused on people near the end of their lives, which always makes for some heartbreak. Barnes, however, is anything but a sentimentalist. His characters are cruel, at times literally abusive--these are not sweet grandmothers and grandfathers, as most young people regard the elderly. Many scenes stick with me, including one in which a retired sergeant takes an annual trip to visit an e...more

Not that he minded. Gregory like rude things” (7). *This remind me of Notes from Underground.
“He must stop thinking that he could win a gold medal in a peeing-high-against-a-wall competition” (8).

“His attempts at chastity failed with comic frequency” (113).
“The reason he didn’t play on Sunday, I read, was ‘not due to disinclination on Eddie’s part, or grouchiness on Mr. Steinler’s, but to the primness of our nationals which stultifies gaiety like an ingrowing toenail’” (192).
“The manufacturer’s name on its metal badge was Thor. The god of thunder sits and growls in the outer reaches of suburbia” (204).
“There’s a triangular green bitten into by negligent motorists…” (207).
“ ‘Jim’s well out of it. You should have seen the expression on his face when she got yacking. You could hear his mind wandering’” (211).
“The discovery was made in the following way. It was a question of bulbs. A friend in a neighbouring village offered to pass on some surplus narcissi” (212).
“ ‘I’m not the voice of reason,’ I said. ‘So don’t expect too much’” (213).
“Because we want—need—to see old age as a time of serenity? I now think this is on e of the great conspiracies of youth. Not just of youth, but of middle age too, of every single year until that moment when we admit to being old ourselves. And it’s a wider conspiracy because the old collude in our belief. They sit there with a rug over their knees, nodding subserviently and agreeing that their revels now have ended” (217).
“…and his eyes express shame at his maimed articulacy” (226).
“Geese would be beautiful if cranes did not exist” (229).
“I had once scored a piece for two clarinets and two bassoons. This represented an act of considerable optimism on my part, since at the time there were only two bassoonists in the country, and one of them was consumptive” (230).
“Alcohol, which I once gave up, is now my most faithful companion. And the most understanding!” (233).
“A. would try to forbid it on grounds of morbidity. But who is allowed to be morbid, if not a corpse” (233).
“When I was a young man, I was hurt by criticism. Now, when I am melancholy, I reread unpleasant words written about my work and am immensely cheered up. I tell my colleagues, ‘Always remember, there is no city in the world which has erected a statue to a critic’” (238-239).

marvelously, smartly written. each story is witty, true, and in the moment. "Bark" and "Knowing French" are astounding.

and yet. if this is representative of the style and accepted peak of our contemporary short fiction, there is much lacking. it is all form with just enough content. it is _amusement_, moreover.

Creating expressive mini-portraits of his characters and their "dearest and nearest", Julian Barnes explores the deep and sometimes conflicting emotions of regret and defiance, love and nostalgia, past and present happiness, new, rekindled or now only in the mind of the central figure. Exquisitely crafted, and most of them sprinkled with a good portion of irony and humour, the stories will capture the readers attention, and very likely, given their diversity, one or the other will speak especially strongly.

Among the eleven stories, three were my definite favourites. "The Story of Mats Indridason", set in a different era in a remote part of Sweden, touches on the long standing romantic feelings of two individuals who each were waiting for the other to declare themselves. Eventually, reality will force a less than happy resolution. Another, also a very gentle story of long lasting love, is "Revival", set in Russia. It has all the ingredients of a deeply romantic Russian novel in miniature. "Vigilance" on the other hand is one of the highly ironic stories that captures a man who, after many years of sharing the pleasures of listening to live concerts with his partner, now has to be by himself. Annoyed, he becomes increasingly irritated by the distracting noise by others around him and reacts with force... Barnes captures the character and the atmosphere with great skill and a large dose of irony. The last story, "Silence" has a very different touch and stands apart for me. A composer has stopped writing - seeing the ultimate aim of music to become silence. While being constantly pestered by his colleagues and admirers to complete his eighth symphony, he withdraws to watching the cranes fly by... This is a much more reflective, philosophical story that touches on aging in a much different way from most of the other stories.

Other than in two, the weakest stories in my estimation, the central characters are male and the women mostly play a supporting or nagging role (the wives) or are the object of desires past or that have remained in the emotional present. Barnes lightens up the mood by adding ironic twists or the odd comeuppances to the psychological ups and downs he evokes in his aging characters, all affected with the symptoms of a nearing end. Several stories have been inspired by historical figures, such as Turgenev or Sibelius. The references are subtle and not necessary to enjoy these particular stories. (less)

I was hungry for some quality short stories, and I hadn't read a Julian Barnes book in a while (used to be my favorite contemporary writer) and so I picked up The Lemon Table, a collection of 11 stories about the bitterness of growing old. I wasn't disappointed. What struck me is how good Barnes is at crafting different "voices", and he never pulls the same stylistic trick twice.

Barnes is definitely one of my current literary discoveries. What a great writer he is. Out of the 11 stories in this book, I really loved 8 of them. Central themes of all the stories is middle-age, old age and death (the lemon is a symbol of death in China, Barnes explains in the last story). But the way he writes is spot on every single time. He shows great mercy and insight in his characters and maybe his accuracy lies in what he leaves out in stead of what he does write. With his beautifully...more

Julian Barnes is the crane of modern writers, ruining me for all the geese out there. I can’t remember the specifics of most of the short stories in this collection, but weeks later I can tell you that Barnes’ writing held me captive throughout. My mom, who shares my love of Barnes, describes him as “slice of thought.” His ability to get inside of the way we think astonishes me.

This is the second Julian Barnes book I've read, the first being The Sense of an Ending, and I want to like him. I really do. And sometimes I do.

El libro del que voy hablaros hoy fue elegido para pertenecer al reto simplemente porqué me gustó "El perfeccionista en la cocina" y quise probar con otro del mismo autor. Quizás debería haber leído con atención la sinopsis, pues más alejado del humor que rebosaba el anterior no puede estar. "La mesa limón" es un libro de cuentos sobre la mortalidad, de esa sensación que nos embarga cuando ya hemos traspasado el ecuador de nuestras vidas. En ese momento nos damos cuenta de que la cosa se acaba. Y es un momento duro.

En este conjunto de relatos el enfoque de la muerte se aborda desde diferentes temáticas, ya sea desde el punto de vista del amor, del sexo, del artístico o de la enfermedad mental, y siempre sin caer en el tópico. No parece un relato edulcorado, ese visto ya cientos de veces en las películas u otros libros, sino que en muchos casos es desgarradoramente plausible. Debido a mi corta edad, no puedo hacer juicios basados en mi experiencia, pero se me antojan relatos que intentan abrazar la cruda realidad. En este caso los personajes que van transcurriendo a lo largo de los distintos cuentos están entrando en un nuevo tramo de sus vidas: la vejez. Y entonces es cuando te das de bruces con una terrible realidad: la muerte está a la vuelta de la esquina. Pero no solo eso: qué he dejado atrás? he podido cumplir con todo aquello que me había propuesto de joven? he sido feliz? Todas esas dudas y más asaltan a nuestros personajes. En algunos casos vienen acompañadas de la muerte de alguien cercano; en otras cuando el protagonista vislumbra la suya. Aunque el enfoque es más que loable, eso no quiere decir que el libro me haya parecido redondo. Ni mucho menos. Como en la mayoría de recopilatorios de cuentos, hay unos más buenos y otros más flojos. Y en este caso 60-40. No voy a comentar cuento por cuento, pero sí voy a hablaros de uno de cada grupo y de otros en general.

"La historia de Mats Israelson" me ha parecido uno de los mejores cuentos. En este se aborda el amor y más concretamente ese que pudo haber sido y no ha sido, y todo por las barreras que nos ponemos a nosotros mismos, esas que nos ponemos para no desmontar todo lo que hemos ido construyendo a lo largo de la vida; en este caso concreto, la familia. Se baraja el siguiente dilema: me entrego a un amor verdadero que me hará feliz a riesgo de perder aquello en lo que he creído o conservo lo que he forjado tras tantos años, aunque no me llene? Cuando eres joven te parece de fácil resolución, pero cuando, como comentaba antes, el ecuador de la vida ya ha pasado, es tan sencillo? Un cuento que resulta desgarrador. Otro que también me ha parecido muy bueno es el de "Corteza": un hombre que confía su vida a la muerte de los demás. Evitar la muerte sin importar las consecuencias de sus actos. Muy bueno. También destacaríamos otros como "Higiene", "Vigilancia", "Apetito" o "La jaula para frutas".

En contraposición tenemos aquellos que, o bien el mensaje no queda muy claro, o resultan farragosos. En esta categoría entraría "El reestreno", un verdadero peñazo. En este satiriza sobre lo estúpido que resultaban los romances simbólicos de tantas novelas y películas de época, pero haciendo gala de un estilo más sobrecargado y plagado de metáfora que hacen que bosteces más de una vez y te plantees saltar al siguiente. "El silencio", sobre la vejez y la relación con el arte, o eso creo, también resulta aburrido en extremo. Otros tantos, como "Una breve historia de la peluquería", "La de cosas que sabes" y "Saber francés", no acabas viéndoles el qué.

En conclusión, un libro con altibajos, pero con un enfoque serio sobre la vejez y la muerte. Lo recomiendo, sólo por el hecho de estar delante de algunos cuentos buenos, pero no es un imprescindible.(less)

This was my first time reading anything by Julian Barnes and I'll definitely dig deeper into his oeuvre. What impressed me most about this book is that all stories, though all very different in style (tone, word use), were of a certain literary quality that I enjoyed. They were well-written, psychologically on point, philosophical, funny in almost a sad way... most had a (mostly bitter) bittersweet edge to them.

If Umberto Eco is correct that ‘great fiction teaches us how to die,’ then this collection of playfully dire stories might be the handbook that Eco had in mind.

Also, “The Revival” takes us over familiar Barnes territory – by blending history, criticism, and witticism – this time pulling back the curtain on the Russian writer Turgenev, as he ruminates on...more

Books of short stories are dangerous and, for the most part, to be avoided because they are so often hot and cold. While one has to drag oneself through some of the stories, others are so good, one wonders why the author didn't just turn those into full-length novels and dump the rest.

Apparently effortless prose in which tragedy and humor are bedfellows—each story stunningly individual—from three visits to the barber (boy, youth, geezer) to rant and revenge against those annoying people who cough and rustle their sweets-wrappers at classical concerts. When you bite into a perfect peach, you remember what summer is all about. When you dip into Julian Barnes, you remember what reading is all about.

I tried reading this book when it came out in 2004, and it made no sense. Now, it does. The aging process is never easy, and for those facing it, it is a mixed bag of pain and sorrow, misperception, and embarasing oneself. The best story in this collection is Vigilance. Be prepared to laugh yourself sick, as the protagonist tries to do something about all the noise at concerts he attends.

I thoroughly enjoyed these stories - they are all about older people, and mostly about aging. As you would imagine some of the stories left me feeling sad, but I wasn't quite sure what to feel about others, they just weren't that clear cut.

I am not going to part with the book just yet, I think these stories need reading at least twice.

I have yet to read a Julian Barnes book that I haven't liked. This one is a collection of short stories whose central theme revolves around growing old. It's not a particularly relevant subject to me, which meant I felt less emotionally invested in a lot of the stories, but despite that, he managed to write several very compelling stories for people who aren't even close to growing old.

I think I remember reading a description of this book as a humorous collection of "age" related short stories, and although there were some darkly humourous angles, I came away a little depressed. Some engaging characters and some interesting settings, but also some slightly disgusting details. Kind of like the actual experience of aging.

Captures the bitter sweet realities of age, unrequited love, disillusionment and the inevitability of mortality. Should have hated it for all those reasons, but Barnes' ability to capture the truths of "human bondage" with such simplicity left me somehow feeling more able to face those demons.

Quite well-written stories of aging and mortality. I didn't care for the historical fiction entries, but that's a personal preference. Timothy West (most of the stories have male protagonists) and Prunella Scales (for the three featuring female characters) do outstanding jobs with the narration!

Amazing! Beautiful!
The book group is reading something by Barnes in 2012 and I wanted to read something he'd written before then. Short stories of characters aging, facing the end of their lives.
I'm going to have to read more of him--can't believe I'd never heard of him until now.
