About This Book
Bestselling author Julian Barnes illuminates the process of how minds are changed—about politics, books, words, memories, and more—in this wise and fascinating new book."We always believe that changing our mind is an improvement, bringing a greater truthfulness to our dealings with the world and other people. It puts an end to vacillation, uncertainty, weak-mindedness. It seems to make us stronger and more mature. Well, we would think that, wouldn't we?"In this engaging and erudite essay, critically acclaimed writer Julian Barnes explores what is involved when we change our about words, about politics, about books; about memories, age, and time.

Reviews
"Where the greater risk is that we'll come to accept the unacceptable, it's just as well to be dogmatic."
"Barnes is always a compelling essayist, steering clear of polemical thinking to carefully consider all angles of a topic, and the range of his references, from Dadaists to John Maynard Keynes, constantly astounds."
"Can't make up its mind about whether it's a single piece or, as it appears to be, a loosely connected series of ruminations ..."
"Perhaps when I reach his age, in half a century, I'll have changed my mind too."
