Understanding Julian Barnes surveys the career of an English writer best known as a strikingly innovative novelist. In this analysis of Barnes's distinctive qualities and of his place in England's literary establishment, Merritt Moseley suggests that Barnes's greatest achievement is his ability to resist summary and categorization by imagining each book in a dramatically original way.
