Now available in paperback, Julian Barnes is a comprehensive
introductory overview of the novels that situates his work in terms
of fabulation and memory, irony and comedy. It pursues a broadly
chronological line through Barnes's literary career, but along the
way it also shows how certain key thematic preoccupations and
obsessions seem to tie Barnes's oeuvre together (love, death, art,
history, truth, and memory). Chapters provide detailed readings of
each major publication in turn while treating the major concerns of
Barnes's fiction, including art, authorship, history, love and
religion. The book is very lucidly written, and it is also
satisfyingly comprehensive - alongside the 'canonical' Barnes
texts, it includes brief but illuminating discussion of the crime
fiction that Barnes has published under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh.
This detailed study of the fictions of Julian Barnes from Metroland
to Arthur & George also benefits from archival research into
his unpublished materials. -- .
