	Julian Barnes European Graduate School 2007 1/6 http://www.egs.edu/ Julian Barnes reading from The Lemon Table, a collection of short stories on the nuances of life and its insurmountable end, awarded the critics' Prize of the Bilbao Book Fair 2006. Public open lecture for the faculty and students of the European Graduate School, Media and Communication Studies Department Program, EGS, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2007. Julian Barnes. Julian Patrick Barnes, born 19 January 1946 in Leicester, England, 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. He has written crime fiction under the pseudonym Dan Kavanagh. Following an education at the City of London School and Magdalen 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 specializing in ancient philosophy. He lives in London with his wife, the literary agent Pat Kavanagh.Barnes is a devoted Francophile and his writing reflects his long standing immersion in French literary culture. His first novel, Metroland, is a short, semi-autobiographical story of Christopher, a young man from the London suburbs who travels to Paris as a student for sexual awakening. In 1983, his second novel Before She Met Me features a darker narrative, a story of revenge by a jealous historian who becomes obsessed by his second wife's past. Barnes's breakthrough novel Flaubert's Parrot broke with the traditional linear structure of his previous novels and featured a fragmentary biographical style story of an elderly doctor, Geoffrey Braithwaite, who tries to rationalise his wife's suicide by focusing obsssively on the life of Gustave Flaubert, and a stuffed parrot that reputedly sat on his writing desk. The novel was published to great acclaim, especially in France, and it established Barnes as one of the pre-eminent writers of his generation. Staring at the Sun followed in 1986, another ambitious novel about a female pilot who deals with issues of love, truth and mortality. In 1989 Barnes published A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters, which was also a non linear novel, which uses a variety of writing styles to call into question the perceived notions of human history and knowledge itself. Barnes reverted after that to smaller scale novels. In 1991, he published Talking it Over a contemporary love triangle, told in a he said/she said perspective with different characters reflecting over common events. Works: Metroland 1980, Before She Met Me 1982, Flaubert's Parrot 1984, Staring at the Sun 1986, A History of the World in 10½ Chapters 1989, Talking it Over 1991, The Porcupine 1992, Letters from London Picador, London, 1995 — journalism from The New Yorker, Cross Channel 1996 — stories, England, England 1998, Love, Etc. 2000, Something to Declare 2002 — essays, The Pedant in the Kitchen 2003 — journalism on cooking, The Lemon Table 2004 — stories, Arthur & George 2005, Works as Dan Kavanagh, Duffy 1980, Fiddle City 1981, Putting the Boot In 1985, Going to the Dogs 1987 View Video
