Talking It Over by Julian Barnes

Alexey Polyarinov's first collection of essays that I have only recently read, reminded me of my undying love to Julian Barnes and I thought it might be high time I read another of his novels.
It was the epigraph mentioned by Polyarinov that made me get hold of this particular book in the first place, as it said "Lies like an eyewitness" and promised a story with multiple narrators, none of them entirely reliable, and none completely unreliable.
Three characters are talking to someone hiding behind the scenes (and their identity is another smart move) about a story of love and betrayal, and, just as the epigraph promises, they don't always see eye to eye, and sometimes seem to be looking in an entirely different direction. Throughout the first half of the book, I entertained myself by spotting slight discrepancies in their accounts of the same events, but as the story goes on, Barnes seems to be losing interest in postmodern quirks and gets carried away with what the characters have to say. Somehow, stripped off its postmodern paraphernalia, the novel boils down to another story of a love triangle, neither the worst I have read, nor the best.
There is a sequel, Love, etc, but I'm not sure I want to know what happens to the characters next.

Telegram | DID YOU KNOW?

The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai. NEWS Following this, Sebi, in an order passed in January 2022, established that the administrators of a Telegram channel having a large subscriber base enticed the subscribers to act upon recommendations that were circulated by those administrators on the channel, leading to significant price and volume impact in various scrips. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care.
