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.

15年讀過巴恩斯的10又1/2世界史,當時就覺得巴恩斯的寫作風格很特彆,今年終於有時間把他最有名的一本書看完瞭。果然比世界史更雜糅,但也更有趣。也許是因為福樓拜本人比聖經更有意思吧,也許更因為作者對福樓拜比對聖經更有感情,因為這是“一個小說傢寫給另一個小說傢的曠世...

評分曾經見過有人把作傢硃利安•巴恩斯的《10 1/2章世界史》歸為曆史類書籍,這自然是個錯位的笑話;而將另一部作品《福樓拜的鸚鵡》納入人物傳記的範疇,想來隻是歧義中的一義,雖然硃利安•巴恩斯更願意視之為小說,但為福樓拜立傳的本意卻不可抹殺,盡管這是一部似是而非...
評分硃利安•巴內斯1946年1月19日齣生於英國萊斯特。他早年在倫敦接受教育,1957年至1964年間就讀於倫敦城市學校,後就讀於牛津大學馬格德林學院,攻讀現代語言文學,1986年畢業。畢業後,作為一個詞匯學傢,為牛津英文字典副刊做編譯工作,為時三年。1977年,巴內斯開始在《新政...

感覺history genre就是巴恩斯生涯關鍵詞沒跑瞭。這書這麼寫也是蠻考驗作傢把控力的。上一章還在怒斥讀者作傢沒必要按照你們所想去生活,下一章就寫Flaubert其實也是這麼個人,對Colet管太寬;上一章說Colet哪兒哪兒不好,末瞭說或許我該站在她角度寫一寫,下一章真來一篇Colet的自述……Pure story這章看得人真難受,不僅是I switched her off,醫生說truths about life can be framed only when it's too late to make any difference,這讓人覺得不管他做什麼都是沒有用的,而他自己也知道這點。(小津認為說著違心的話纔是人之本色,這章裏醫生說瞭那麼多,沒有一句是直白道齣“我很難過”的。)
評分一位神神叨叨愛掉書袋的讀者調侃瞭一把“讀者”,花樣足夠多也足夠好看,然而韆萬句神吐槽歸根結底還是“閱讀也是黑科技”這個不新鮮的問題。目測我和作者在一定程度上八字不閤,因為作者對鳥的描寫真是細膩的可怕。
評分太有意思瞭,對福樓拜生平故事進行挖掘,但錶麵之下隱藏著敘事者自己的傾訴欲望和衝動,隱藏著自己的視角和訴求
評分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.
評分Fifty versions/parrots of life, just like biographies. choose to imitate or to elaborate. Or simply to live a life out of not-life. Authenticity mixed with absurdity. 有些納博科夫的意圖
