Julian Patrick Barnes is a contemporary English writer of postmodernism in literature. He has been shortlisted three times for the Man Booker Prize--- Flaubert's Parrot (1984), England, England (1998), and Arthur & George (2005), and won the prize for The Sense of an Ending (2011). He has written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh.
Following an education at the City of London School and Merton College, Oxford, he worked as a lexicographer for the Oxford English Dictionary. Subsequently, he worked as a literary editor and film critic. He now writes full-time. His brother, Jonathan Barnes, is a philosopher specialized in Ancient Philosophy.
He lived in London with his wife, the literary agent Pat Kavanagh, until her death on 20 October 2008.
Which of two stuffed parrots was the inspiration for one of Flaubert's greatest stories? Why did the master keep changing the colour of Emma Bovary's eyes? And why should it matter so much to Geoffrey Braithwaite, a retired doctor haunted by a private secret? In "Flaubert's Parrot", Julian Barnes spins out a multiple mystery of obsession and betrayal (both scholarly and romantic) and creates an exuberant enquiry into the ways in which art mirrors life and then turns around to shape it.

评分朱利安·巴恩斯是一个让我爱恨交加的英国作家。 从《柠檬桌子》和《脉搏》开始进入朱利安·巴恩斯的文学世界,你会觉得他是一个会使点小伎俩但还循规蹈矩的英国绅士。特别是《柠檬桌子》里的那些篇章,呈现的男人和女人都老得各有各的不可理喻, 但朱利安·巴恩斯为他们的人生...
Julian Barnes好像就是很喜欢写似真似假的历史。
评分比布克奖那本要好太多。
评分Julian Barnes好像就是很喜欢写似真似假的历史。
评分a genre mosaic~~~it could be read as a biography, travel journalism or meta-fiction. I would not say a literary criticism since Flaubert resents it. However, it is one of the best genius works that I have ever come across: ironic, humorous, insightful and thought-provoking.
评分Reminds me of Possession, which very possibly borrowed the same idea dwelling in this novel, about biographing. In general, 'tis a fanfic.
