Flaubert’s Parrot (Alfred A. Knopf, 1985)

Notes on this edition: First American edition – New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1985. $13.95.

Barnes’s third literary novel Flaubert’s Parrot was a great success in the U.K., thus ensuring hardback publication in the U.S. Riding the wave of the novel’s success, paperback editions of his previous two novels soon appeared on the market.

Peter Brooks of The New York Times ended his review of the novel with: “His book is a great success, humane and generous, full of insight and wit, rich and even prodigal in its verbal inventiveness: a book Flaubert would have scorned to write, a book well worth writing.”

On February 17, 1985 (shortly before publication of the novel), Barnes published his essay “The Follies of Writer Worship” in The New York Times. The essay is a non-fiction piece about the nature of writer worship, which is a theme underlying the narrator’s search for truth in the novel.

Con- | ceived as a private type for the Officina Bodoni in | Verona, Italy, Dante was originally cut only for hand | composition by Charles Malin, the famous Parisian | punch cutter, between 1946 and 1952. Its first use was in | an edition of Boccaccio’s Trattatello in laude di Dante | that appeared in 1954. The Monotype Corporation’s | version of Dante followed in 1957. Although modeled | on the Aldine type used for Pietro Cardinal Bembo’s | treatise De Aetna in 1495, Dante is a thoroughly modern | interpretation of the venerable face. | Composed by Creative Graphics, | Allentown, Pennsylvania | Printed and bound by R. R. Donnelley & Sons, | Harrisonburg, Virginia | Designed by Anthea Lingeman’. [230-232]: blank.

Love, etc. | Dust Jacket Draft (Jonathan Cape, 2000)

Notes on this item: Just prior to Jonathan Cape’s publication of Julian Barnes’s novel Love, etc, the author made the decision to alter the title slightly by removing the final “stop” after “etc”. The publisher made the change in time for publication, but a small number of full-sized, variant dust jackets had already been distributed to potential reviewers. The full stop was added back to the title for the Alfred A. Knopf edition in the U.S.

The images above show the variant dust jacket with the full stop in place and the final, first edition jacket with the full stop removed.
