Love Julian Barnes! Based soley on Arthur & George, I might add. So, I fell on Pulse, only to waver at the prospect of it being a collection of short stories. This is not an aversion of mine but a proven reluctance among our customers. Should I spend time reading it, only to find I had trouble convincing others to do the same? Well selfishness prevailed - to be rewarded with gems. There's something in each story tying it to the notion of 'pulse'. I love the dinner party series, being hugely reminiscent of nosh-ups we all share. I have read all of the stories twice which is the best thing about short stories - it's so much easier to revisit them.
