FLAUBERT S PARROT
BARNES JULIANJust what sort of book is Flaubert's Parrot, anyway? A literary biography of 19th-century French novelist, radical, and intellectual impresario Gustave Flaubert? A meditation on the uses and misuses of language? A novel of obsession, denial, irritation, and underhanded connivery? A thriller complete with disguises, sleuthing, mysterious meetings, and unknowing targets? An extended essay on the nature of fiction itself? On the surface, at first, Julian Barnes's book is the tale of an elderly English doctor's search for some intriguing details of Flaubert's life. Geoffrey Braithwaite seems to be involved in an attempt to establish whether a particularly fine, lovely, and ancient stuffed parrot is in fact one originally "borrowed by G. Flaubert from the Museum of Rouen and placed on his worktable during the writing of Un coeur simple, where it is called Loulou, the parrot of Felicité, the principal character of the tale." What begins as a droll and intriguing excursion into the minutiae of Flaubert's life and intellect, along with an attempt to solve the small puzzle of the parrot--or rather parrots, for there are two competing for the title of Gustave's avian confrere--soon devolves into something obscure and worrisome, the exploration of an arcane Braithwaite obsession that is perhaps even pathological. The first hint we have that all is not as it seems comes almost halfway into the book, when after a humorously cantankerous account of the inadequacies of literary critics, Braithwaite closes a chapter by saying, "Now do you understand why I hate critics? I could try and describe to you the expression in my eyes at this moment; but they are far too discoloured with rage." And from that point, things just get more and more curious, until they end in the most unexpected bang. One passage perhaps best describes the overall effect of this extraordinary story: "You can define a net in one of two ways, depending on your point of view. Normally, you would say that it is a meshed instrument designed to catch fish. But you could, with no great injury to logic, reverse the image and define the net as a jocular lexicographer once did: he called it a collection of holes tied together with string." Julian Barnes demonstrates that it is possible to catch quite an interesting fish no matter how you define the net. --Andrew HimesÉPUISÉVOIR PRODUIT13,60 € -

Love, etc.
Barnes JulianStuart et Oliver sont de vieux amis et, même s'ils diffèrent sur certains points (cette manie de la précision et ce goût des dictionnaires qu'a Oliver !), ils partagent beaucoup de choses à commencer par la même femme, Gillian. Enfin, affirmer qu'ils la partagent est peut-être exagéré, il serait plus juste de dire qu'ils se la disputent. Une classique histoire de trio amoureux ? Pas vraiment, car Julian Barnes, au lieu de confier le récit à un narrateur omniscient a choisi de donner la parole à chacun des protagonistes qui, conformément à un proverbe russe placé en exergue du roman, "ment comme un témoin oculaire". Il en résulte un enchevêtrement de rancoeurs, de mensonges, de remords, de culpabilité qui transforment le marivaudage en une véritable analyse chirurgicale des sentiments, sans que l'auteur renonce jamais à son humour très britannique. Le roman adapté à l'écran par Marion Vernoux dans un film interprété par Charles Berling, Yvan Attal et Charlotte Gainsbourg, a obtenu le prix Femina étranger en 1992. --Gérard MeudalÉPUISÉVOIR PRODUIT9,50 € -

Metroland
Barnes JulianRésumé : A seize ans, Christopher et Toni, deux inséparables copains, réalisent que c'est uniquement dans le métro qu'ils peuvent être vraiment seuls avec eux-mêmes et imaginer tout ce qui changera quand ils seront enfin dans la Vraie Vie. Il y aura le mariage - et l'amour huit fois par nuit -, de grandes quantités d'argent à la banque, les boîtes de nuit... Bref, les rêves de tous les garçons de leur âge. Mais sous la plume de Julian Barnes, qui signait là son premier roman, leur éducation sentimentale et autre devient un petit chef-d'?uvre de drôlerie... Un jour, ils auront vingt ans, puis davantage. Lequel des deux saura le mieux équilibrer les contraintes et les illusions ?ÉPUISÉVOIR PRODUIT9,50 €
