Staring at the SunJean Serjeant, the heroine of Julian Barnes's wonderfully provocative novel, seems ordinary, but has an extraordinary disdain for wisdom. And as Barnes winner of the Man Booker Prize for The Sense of an Ending follows her from her childhood in the 1920s to her flight into the sun in the year 2021, he confronts readers with the fruits of her relentless curiosity: pilgrimages to China and the Grand Canyon; a catalogue of 1940s sexual euphemisms; and a
Jean Serjeant, the heroine of Julian Barnes's wonderfully provocative novel, seems ordinary, but has an extraordinary disdain for wisdom. And as Barnes--winner of the Man Booker Prize for The Sense of an Ending--follows her from her childhood in the 1920s to her flight into the sun in the year 2021, he confronts readers with the fruits of her relentless curiosity: pilgrimages to China and the Grand Canyon; a catalogue of 1940s sexual euphemisms; and a glimpse of technology in the twenty-first century (when The Absolute Truth can be universally accessed). Elegant, funny and intellectually subversive, Staring at the Sun is Julian Barnes at his most dazzlingly original. "Brilliant . . . a marvelous literary epiphany."--Carlos Fuentes, The New York Times Book Review "Barnes's literary energy and daring are nearly unparalleled."--New RepublicBinding Type: Paperback

Effortless Can Opening – A Game Changer in the Kitchen!
I absolutely love this Automatic Electric Can Opener! It makes opening cans so much easier and completely hands-free. No more struggling with manual openers or sharp edges—this gadget does all the work for you with just the push of a button. The smooth edge cutting is a huge plus because it keeps my family safe from accidental cuts.
It’s lightweight, easy to use, and works perfectly with just a couple of batteries. I especially appreciate it when I’m multitasking in the kitchen because it saves so much time and effort. Honestly, it’s a must-have tool for anyone who cooks regularly, and it would be a great gift for seniors or anyone with hand pain or arthritis.
Highly recommend—it has truly made my kitchen life easier!

Works great on many different size cans
Works great on various size cans. It is a little larger that other openers, but seems very sturdy. It is a little loud and slow, but not a large concern. Very happy with it.

Stopped working after 3 months
It stopped working after 3 months.
The motor still runs the gear still turns. But it does not engage the can to cut.
I bought it for a post operative situation and I am glad that it worked when for the length of time it did but it's disappointing that I now have to throw this item away.
