The question of the canon has been the subject of debate in academic circles for over fifteen years. Pleasure and Change contains two lectures on this important subject by the distinguished literary critic Sir Frank Kermode. In essays that were originally delivered as Tanner Lectures at Berkeley in November of 2001, Kermode reinterprets the question of canon formation in light of two related and central notions: pleasure and change. He asks how aesthetic pleasure informs what we find valuable, and how this perception changes over time. Kermode also explores the role of chance, observing the connections between canon formation and unintentional and sometimes even random circumstance. Geoffrey Hartmann (Yale University), John Guillory (New York University), and Carey Perloff (director of the American Conservatory Theatre) offer incisive comments on these essays, to which Kermode responds in a lively rejoinder. The volume begins with a helpful introduction by Robert Alter. The result is a stimulating and accessible discussion of a highly significant cultural debate.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

"Author Mike McColl-Jones worked alongside Graham Kennedy for almost 20 years, churning out jokes and scripts for the popular television show, In Melbourne Tonight. McColl-Jones is a veteran comedy writer for Australian television; writing not only for Kennedy, but for stars such as Don Lane and Bert Newton. Rather than simply being a biography of the man known as, ‘The King’, this is an insight into how Kennedy’s colleagues felt about him. ‘It is the private Graham Kennedy’. It includes Kennedy’s struggles as a child-the atypical upbringing, the uncertainty of his father going to war and his passion to be a radio presenter. The book shows what a remarkable person Graham Kennedy was in his time."--Publisher details.
