One of the most celebrated British novelists from the generation of celebrated novelists born between 1945 and 1950 (e.g., Amis, McEwan, Ackroyd), Julian Barnes is noted for his intellectual qualities, his cosmopolitan interests, and his restlessly inventive approach to fiction. Though he has written important non‐fiction and four detective novels, his exemplary achievement is in what the British call the “literary” novel (by contrast with the “popular” novel). Julian Barnes's works may well be the defining illustration of the literary novel.
