Letters from London

"Julian Barnes's stint as The New Yorker's London correspondent brought him, he says, the technical challenge of writing for sophisticated American readers who might nevertheless think of Britain as that nation about the 'size of Oregon.' His method of attack was to compose cunning reports as artfully layered as roses (or onions), leading stubborn and provincial browsers along the byways of late- and post-Thatcher England."Julian Barnes is the author of 'Letters from London', published 1995 under ISBN 9780679761617 and ISBN 0679761616.
