“Barnes’s literary energy and daring are nearly unparalleled among contemporary English novelists.”
“Sensational … the book is utterly novel.… A History of the World in 10½ Chapters really strings together fictional conceits that dance and prance and mug … the kind of crowd pleasers that Twain or Wilde might have read on tour … a fabulous independent voice.” “Barnes is an important writer who continues to grow, blessed … as he is with both ambition and self-irony. “This is a playful, witty and entertaining gathering of conjectures by a man to whom ideas are quite clearly crucial: a quintessential humanist, it would seem, of the pre-post-modernist species.”
