    Flaubert's Parrot

    I finished reading Julian Barnes' wonderful 'Flaubert's Parrot'. In part biography, in part commentary and in part wonderful satire, the book seeks to restore Flaubert as more than merely the author of 'Madame Bovary' and as a writer of rare genius -- replete with witticisms, philosophy, world-wandering and syphilis. In addition to highlighting Flaubert's pioneering contributions to the paradigm of realism, Mr Barnes also offers many gentle asides on the Art and Form of writing, the scourge of criticism and the quaint delights of hobby-biographers.
