Letters from London

Julian Barnes

A sparkling collection of essays that illustrates the infinite variety of contemporary life in London--from the bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending, "an exceptionally accomplished [and] ingenious stylist" (The New York Review of Books).

"A splended collection of journalism ... uniformly fine, closely observed and informative." --The Wall Street Journal

With brilliant wit, idiosyncratic intelligence, and a bold grasp of intricate political realities, the celebrated author of Flaubert's Parrot turns his satiric glance homeward to England.
