Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes is one of the most brilliant and original novelists of modern Britain, author of such international bestsellers as The Noise of Time, A Premonition of the End, Arthur and George, A History of the World in 10½ Chapters, and many others. Perhaps his main talent is his ability to play with styles and trends easily and naturally. Subtle stylization and caustic irony, subtle lyricism and reaching almost to cynicism sarcasm, aggressive toughness and cheerful mischief - Barnes can do all this and more. "Flaubert's Parrot," the first of Barnes's books to be shortlisted for the Booker Prize, is "a delightful novel that satiates the mind and soul" (Joseph Heller); it is "a true gem - a novel so literary and yet shamelessly entertaining" (John Irving). Through the lens of Flaubert's biography, Barnes attempts to answer the question of what is more important to us readers - the author's books or his life? If books, then why does the writer's work make us literally hunt for the smallest facts of his life? Why do we believe that a stuffed Flaubertian parrot can give us the key to understanding everything written by the French classicist?
