Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes
BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE * From the internationally bestselling author of The Sense of an Ending comes a literary detective story of a retired doctor obsessed with the 19th century French author Flaubert--and with tracking down the stuffed parrot that once inspired him. * "A high literary entertainment carried off with great brio." --The New York Times Book ReviewJulian Barnes playfully combines a detective story with a character study of its detective, embedded in a brilliant riff on literary genius.
A compelling weave of fiction and imaginatively ordered fact, Flaubert's Parrot is by turns moving and entertaining, witty and scholarly, and a tour de force of seductive originality.
Julian Barnes was born in Leicester in 1946 and is the author of nine novels, a collection of short stories, and a collection of essays. He is based in London.
