The Noise of Time (barnes Works)

About This Novel

"The Noise of Time" is Barnes' first novel after "The Sense of an Ending". In May 1937, in an apartment building in Leningrad, a man in his early thirties wearing glasses was waiting in front of the elevator door with a small suitcase leaning against his legs. They always came for you at midnight, and rather than be dragged out of the apartment in his pajamas, he would rather pack up and wait in front of the elevator night after night, waiting to be arrested. He was Shostakovich, a man who spent his whole life waiting to be shot. He gave cowardice to power and courage to music. This book is a life biography written by Julian Barnes for his hero.
