The Rhetoric of Irony in Julian Barnes's Novels
UNIVERSITATEA DIN CRAIOVA FACULTATEA DE LITERE ȘCOALA DOCTORALĂ „ALEXANDRU PIRU” THE RHETORIC OF IRONY IN JULIAN BARNES’S NOVELS SUMMARY Conducător științific, Prof. univ. dr. Victor OLARU Doctorand, Anca-Ioana VULCĂNESCU (VULCĂNESCU-FLOREA) Craiova 2020 SUMMARY Key words: Postmodernism, rhetoric, irony, Socratic irony, Derrida, Deconstructivism, Bakhtinian influences, carnivalization of literature, literary techniques, intertextuality, reinterpretation, narrative, reinterpreting history, carnival, sarcasm, parody, burlesque characters, hyperreal, simulacrum, irony and postmodernism, re-enactment of dandyism, Neo-Victorian influences. Julian Barnes is one of the writers who transgresses the narrative boundaries and rewrites the major themes of Early postmodernism, thus becoming a controversial figure. His narrative technique differs from the modernist one and we notice that he either deconstructs the narration replacing it with a state of mind, or goes beyond the boundaries of narratology, changing the structure, and impregnating it with irony. Barnes replaces the plot with a narrative game and his motto seems to be a simple one: ‘Let’s play with the characters, the plot… let’s play with everything.’ His changeable style, either journalistic or dramatic, constitutes an element of novelty that might puzzle the average reader. For example, in Flaubert’s Parrot, he starts by presenting a short history of literature, and re-writes it in an imaginary way: 2/3 of the story is real, while the rest is fictional. He never ceases to amaze us when he uses language as a means of transition and combines postmodernism with classical rhetorical features in order to obtain ironic situations. In The Porcupine he relies on both verbal and situational irony when he describes the activity of the Devinsky Comando. -

The Writer's Bookseller
THE WRITER’S BOOKSELLER: THE LIBRARY OF ROGER KATZ Hatchards Manager 1991 - 2010 Catalogue 1510 atalogue 1510 brings together the books of Roger Katz, acquired during his time as General Manager of Hatchards, Piccadilly from 1991 to 2010. CRoger has kindly provided an introduction to the collection below, and his own reminiscences are interspersed throughout the catalogue. The great majority of the books are signed or inscribed, and the diverse selection effectively stands as a who’s who of contemporary English literature from 1962-2019. Twenty-eight Booker Prize winning authors are represented, and recurrent figures include: John Le Carre, Julian Barnes, Hilary Mantel, Umberto Eco, Sebastian Faulks, George MacDonald Fraser, Kazou Ishiguro, P.D. James, Cormac McCarthy, Ian McEwan, Patrick O’Brien, Philip Pullman, and Salman Rushdie. Also included are biographies, from politics to the performing arts, artists books by, amongst others, Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst, and a wide variety of non-fiction books, including Antony Beevor’s monumental studies Stalingrad and Berlin. “I’m going to keep this short – like all good booksellers. I was fortunate to be appointed Hatchards General Manager in 1991, originally to take the shop with its multi Royal Warrants to its 200th Birthday in 1997. Unsurprisingly I decided to stay. For 25 years I was lucky enough to be at the heart of the most exciting time in British publishing. The rise in the 90s of celebrity authors , a mix of already admired & brand new names, included super-star novelists & crime writers, biographers & historians, poets & playwrights, art & travel writers, cooks & gardeners, all writing books that became almost instant modern day classics. -
