Book Club: 6th Feb - Flaubert's Parrot
8pm The White Lion
It's not quite a month away but this is a really short one: Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes.
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1984 and won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize the following year.
'A splendid hybrid of a novel, part biography, part fiction, part literary criticism, the whole carried off with great brio. ''Flaubert's Parrot'' is high literary entertainment'. - New York Times
Julian Barnes discusses his book on World Book Club: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/133_wbc_archive_new/page2.shtml
New members always welcome. We usually sit at the back of the pub and have a copy of the book on the table.
