"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). |
