      About This Book

      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 Review

      Julian 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.
