	Powells.com Interviews - Julian Barnes
		The usual Julian Barnes novel is a slim and elegant gem, containing provocative and illuminating perspectives on the human condition.

	Julian Barnes
		Novelist Julian Barnes was born in Leicester on 19 January 1946 and was educated at the City of London School and Magdalen College, Oxford.
		Unlike these writers, however, Barnes returns repeatedly, seriously, even obsessively (if often also humorously), to a series of key themes connected to the passions and inconsistencies of the human heart, exploring the unsettling nature of love and (in)fidelity, dislocation, the quest for authenticity and truth, and the irretrievability of the past.
		Commenting specifically on this novel, Barnes effectively characterizes the thrust of his oeuvre: the effort to capture 'what is constant in the human heart and human passions'.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Julian Barnes - Books: Meet the Writers
		Julian Barnes once told London's Observer that he writes fiction "to tell beautiful, exact, and well-constructed lies which enclose hard and shimmering truths." Indeed, this is what Barnes does, sometimes spiking his lies with fact -- most notably in Flaubert's Parrot, the novel that became his breakthrough book.
		Barnes had protested the professor's actions, accusing him of usurpation; but his opponent might have responded by quoting from Barnes's own (albeit satirical) England, England: "Indeed, wasn't there something old-fashioned about the whole concept of ownership, or rather its acquisition by formal contract, in which title is received in exchange for consideration given?....
		Amis and Barnes later had a falling-out that became fodder for the press when Amis wrote about it in his memoir, Experience; Barnes is mum on the subject, but the disagreement arose when Amis defected from Barnes's wife to another agent.

	Julian Barnes's A History of the World
		Barnes' two-part treatment in chapter five of the notorious shipwreck of the Medusa in 1816 and the subsequent painting of the survivors on the raft executed by Géricault in 1819 brings many of the themes and motifs of the book together.
		Barnes wants to demonstrate the way any artist is compelled to rearrange the facts to give meaning to his narrative composition.
		Barnes points to a signified by using as signifiers those strange links and impertinent connections that invite the reader to discover a coherence in the book as a whole.

	Arthur & George by Julian Barnes: Reviews
		Barnes turns this historically based tale of prejudice, malevolence, and madness versus honor, stoicism, and ingenuity into a brilliantly incisive and emotionally powerful inquiry into the nature of delusion and hope, perception and interpretation.
		Julian Barnes has given us a quieter novel full of the unsatisfactory loose ends and petty injustices of real life, one that the placid, gentle George Edalji, turning the cream-coloured pages by the fireside, might have better appreciated and understood--and one by which he would have been thrilled and flattered and moved beyond words.
		Barnes' imaginative re-creation of Arthur's and George's life stories is a reminder that human vitality continues through literature.

	England, England - Julian Barnes
		Julian Barnes takes this familiar idea and spells it out as simply as he can, concentrating not on the irrelevancy that is art but on matters which matter more, the greater reality of the world stage, of history even, and what these have become in our modern theme-park world of imitation.
		Barnes' book is a devastating indictment of what the world has come to, of the artificiality of reality and of our indifference to authenticity (the dismissal of the notion that tourists demand the truly authentic is one of the many marvelous riffs in the book).
		Barnes barely mentions television, but it is that pre-packaged and pre-programmed world, brought right to our door, that he warns us of.

	Julian Barnes' Arthur & George. - By Wendy Lesser - Slate Magazine
		Barnes conveys this miscarriage of justice in such thorough, coolly observant, believably contemporary terms that we actually feel we are standing on the sidelines, watching the egregious trial take place.
		Barnes has made no effort to conceal his diligent research: We can sense that these names and dates are specific, that these headlines come from real newspapers, even before we know the basis of the story to be factual.
		I would not have expected this from Julian Barnes, this magical ability to create a fiction that is larger than either his authorship or his sources, this startling understanding of the way in which fictional characters can be both more complicated and more moving than their historical models.

	Salon Books \| David Hare play echoes Julian Barnes article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Julian Barnes fans may experience a sensation of déjà vu if they attend a performance of David Hare's current Broadway hit, "Amy's View." In Hare's play, the widowed actress Esme Allen is hoodwinked by her accountant, a Lloyd's of London agent.
		Barnes, the author of "Flaubert's Parrot," wrote a 1993 New Yorker article, "The Deficit Millionaires," about this very topic: how the insurance company purportedly bilked some of London's most influential and famous citizens of millions of pounds with the same scam used on Esme Allen.
		The correspondence becomes even more apparent in one snippet of dialogue in "Amy's View," when Esme recalls her impressions of Lloyd's employees: "I actually noticed when I was a girl, all the thickest people one bumped into always seemed to be working at Lloyd's," she says.

	New York State Writers Institute - Julian Barnes Times Union Article
		Barnes, who turned 60 earlier this month, is still constructing his literary legacy, which includes such elegant postmodern novels as "Staring at the Sun" and "A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters."
		Scrupulously researched but richly imagined, Barnes' 12th work of fiction dramatizes Doyle's efforts to clear the name of George Edalji, a young attorney in rural Staffordshire who in 1903 received a seven-year sentence for mutilating a pony.
		The book is neither dry nor academic: The facts of the case form the axle around which Barnes spins the story of Edalji's imprisonment as well as Doyle's fascination with Edwardian-era spiritualism, and his chaste 10-year love affair with the young woman who would become his second wife.

	Amazon.ca: Flaubert's Parrot: Books: Julian Barnes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Barnes is a very quixotic and imaginative writer with a definitely skewed view of the world and an engaging and witty writing voice.
		This was the first Barnes novel I read and it was so good I have been slowly working my way through his other books, which has proven to be an altogether delightful experience.
		As a result, the essayist Julian Barnes, as well as extensive comments from Flaubert ("With me, friendship is like the camel: once started, there is no way of stopping it.") seemed to carry the narrative load.

		Barnes' new book is a collection of short stories (his first, if you don't count "A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters," which shares certain properties with a book of short stories, but is, he insists, a novel).
		Barnes didn't know what the World Wide Web was, but agreed to talk with a new media journalist anyway.
		After a short discussion of the Internet, he decided that as an author who lives off rights, he wasn't amenable to the idea that "information wants to be free." He works on an IBM Selectric typewriter on a large, U-shaped fl wood desk he had custom-made, TV-anchor style.

	Love, etc. - Julian Barnes
		In 1991 Julian Barnes published the novel Talking it Over (see our review), the story of a love-triangle, of sorts, between three characters: Stuart, Oliver, and Gillian.
		Barnes summarizes what happened in the previous volume and, while certain details obviously are more easily understood if one is familiar with it, Love, etc. can stand well enough on its own.
		Barnes writes well, as always, and there are a fill of details and observations that are impressive (if occasionally a bit too far off-point -- such as considerations of condoms or famous Belgians).

		Describing his papers, Barnes wrote "everything I do from the moment I am faced by what I recognize as the possibility--or pre-possibility--of a novel is contained within the Archive.

	Featured Author: Julian Barnes
		I think somehow I was trying to anticipate Julian's moves, Julian being such an innovator that the typical Barnesian reader like myself is sometimes too clever by half in trying to get the drop on the master.
		Such formal innovations as are left to make in the novel come out of the demands of the story and the situation and the characters and so on, rather than out of any sense of position in literary history of the 21st century.
		Julian Barnes: I don't know everything, and I wouldn't want to have everything planned in advance, because that would be like painting by numbers and I'd just be filling in the gaps.
