Barnes manages to be erudite but extremely funny too… You never
know what Barnes is going to do next and I admire that.’
*Daily Express*
Delightful and enriching... A book to revel in!
*Joseph Heller*
Endless food for thought, beautifully written... A tour de
force
*Germaine Greer*
A gem: an unashamed literary novel that is also unashamed to be
readable, and broadly entertaining. Bravo!
*John Irving*
Julian Barnes' wry and graceful book, part novel, part stealthy
literary criticism, traces the marks Flaubert made on a forgetting
world. The writing is unfailingly sharp and often very funny, and
among the best prose I have read in years
*Sunday Times*
