The brilliant new collection of short stories from Man Booker Prize-winning author Julian Barnes.

The stories in Julian Barnes' long-awaited third collection are attuned to rhythms and currents: of the body, of love and sex, illness and death, connections and conversations. Each character is bent to a pulse, propelled on by success and loss, by new beginnings and endings.

Ranging from the domestic to the extraordinary, from the vineyards of Italy to the English seaside in winter, the stories in 'Pulse' resonate and spark.

A moving and poignant collection of stories from the author of 'Metroland' and 'Flaubert's Parrot', as well as the short story collections 'Cross Channel' and 'The Lemon Table'.
