The Dadaist Francis Picabia once said, "Our heads are round so that our thoughts can change direction." Indeed, over the years, we alter our opinions on many things: aesthetic tastes—the music we listen to, the clothes we wear—social affiliations—the football team or political party we support—and even matters as profound as the person we love or the god we worship. In this essay, Julian Barnes explores the malleability of our memories and opinions, of the words we use and the books we cherish. It is an exquisite work on the elusive, metamorphic nature of thought.
