The Dadaist Francis Picabia said that "we have round heads so that our thoughts can change direction." Indeed, over the years, we change our opinions on many things: aesthetic tastes -the music we listen to, the clothes we wear or social affiliation and even matters as transcendental as the person we love or the god we worship. In this essay, Julian Barnes explores the malleability of our memories and opinions, the words we use, and the readings we treasure. This is an exquisite work on the elusive and metamorphic nature of thought.
