The laureate of the Buker Prize Julian Barnes is one of the most striking and original prose writers of modern Britain, the author of such international bestsellers as “noise of time”, “foreboding of the end”, “Arthur and George”, “The History of the World in 10½ chapters” and many others. Perhaps his main talent is the ability to easily and naturally play with styles and directions. Thin stylization and caustic irony, sophisticated lyricism and sarcasm that is almost cynic, aggressive rigidity and fun mischief - Barns is subject to all this and much more.
“Flobert’s parrot”-the first of Barnes’s books that included in the short list of the Buker Prize is “a delightful novel that saturates the mind and soul” (Joseph Heller), this is “genuine pearl-the novel is so literary and in the same Time is shamelessly fascinating ”(John Irving) Through the prism of the biography of Flaubert Barnes, he tries to answer the question, what is more important to us readers - the author’s books or his life? If the books, then why does the writer"s work make us literally hunt for the smallest facts of his life? Why do we believe that the scarecrow of the Flobertovsky parrot is able to give the key to understanding everything that is written by the French classic?
