Industry Reviews
"Barnes has written many wonderful books, but this one is like no other, of his or anybody else's. FLAUBERT'S PARROT is new, and always will be.
Salon - Peter Carey (07/12/1999)
"Julian Barnes is [a] genius puppeteer... telling a tale of misfortune and laughter in precise, sardonic and wondrous prose. An exuberant and joyous novel."
