Understanding Julian Barnes

"In evaluating Barnes's fiction, Moseley discusses the novelist's admiration for Gustave Flaubert, identifies his technical and thematic concerns, and explores the intrigue surrounding his divided career as a writer of serious novels, published under his own name, and of detective thrillers, published under the pseudonym Dan Davanagh. Moseley provides close readings of Barnes's book-length works, defending the writer against the charge that some of these volumes should not be considered novels at all and examining his commitment to writing books rich in the exploration of serious ideas."--Page 4 of cover.

  • "Understanding Julian Barnes surveys the career of one of England's most daring contemporary writers. A man of letters who has produced distinguished short fiction, journalism, and reportage, Barnes is best known as a strikingly innovative novelist. In this analysis of Barnes's distinctive qualities and of his place in England's literary establishment, Merritt Moseley suggests that the novelist's greatest achievement may well be his ability to resist summary and categorization by imagining each book in a dramatically original way."
