Description of Cross Channel |
Combining the intellectual audacity of A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters with the francophilia of the acclaimed Flaubert's Parrot, Julian Barnes explores the English experience of France over the centuries with dazzling wit and sophistication. This is Barnes's first collection of stories.

Reviews'A glittering collection of stories . . . His marvellously supple and exact prose is matched with subjects that powerfully stir his creativity . . . It's impossible to imagine a fictional panorama of Britain's long relationship with France realized with more cordial understanding.'
Peter Kemp, The Sunday Times
'As cooly intelligent and entertaining as anything Barnes has written before.'
The Independent
'The skill with which Barnes shades in the details of French provincial life makes Cross Channel a unique excursion.'
Elle magazine
'Posied, understated and ingenious.'
Spectator
'The book is a delight . . . Undoubtedly Barnes's best book since Flaubert's Parrot.'
Allan Massie, Scotsman
'Barnes est delicieux.'
