Julian Barnes Before She Met Me

Julian Barnes (1946 - )

Julian Barnes (1946 - ) Born in Leicester, his family moved to London Both of his parents were teachers of French, he studied modern languages Worked as a reviewer, literary editor and film critic Suffered from shyness First novel: Metroland (1980) Before She Met Me (1982) Before She Met Me: „a rather nasty book about obsessions”.

Julian Barnes (1946 - ) Most successful: Flaubert’s Parrot (1984); breaks with the linear narrative structure, consists of fragments of an elderly doctor’s narrative The Sense of an Ending (2011); Booker Prize His fiction: Mixture of the comic and the macabre His opinion about Before She Met Me: „a rather nasty book about obsessions”. Issues the novel engages with: the role misinterpretation plays in literature, history.

Group Work What do you think, why is the main character a historian? Why does he become obsessed with Ann? What is the role of Jack in the narrative? Why do both Ann and Graham turn to him for advice? What is the function of the visual (films, dreams, photos) in the narrative? What is the function of travelling (exploring new places) in the narrative? Is the conclusion of the novel predictable? Why/why not?
