| "Blame
it on Amis, Barnes & McEwan." Jason Cowley of the New
Statesman evaluates Dale Peck's recent attack on British fiction: "Reviewing
Julian Barnes's feeble Love, Etc in the New Republic, Peck
suggested that the elite of British fiction - Barnes, McEwan, Amis, Rushdie
and so on - had systematically 'ruined' the British novel. 'The idea that
Julian Barnes is the successor to Sterne is nearly as unbearable as the idea
that Margaret Drabble is George Eliot's heir,' he wrote. 'And how has
Fielding been watered down into A S Byatt and Defoe bastardised into
Jeanette Winterson.' As for Ian McEwan: 'His novels smell worse than the
newspaper wrapped around old fish.' Zadie Smith? 'Too Oxbridge'" (4
June 2001). |
| "Erotic
Triangles in Amis and Barnes: Negotiations of Patriarchal Power."
Erica Hateley analyzes the exent to which the relationships in Success

 | Erica
Hateley is a graduate student at Monash University. She
recently completed her Masters thesis entitled "Julian Barnes:
Interrogating the Grand Narrative" and is about to commence her
doctoral thesis investigating twentieth-century reworkings of Macbeth.
