Mobi Letters from London (Vintage International) with FREE PDF EDITION!

This book covers the five years (1990-5) Julian Barnes (JB) was London correspondent of “The New Yorker”. An impossibly erudite and brilliant writer himself and famed for creating highly readable books, Barnes was initially baffled (and remained intrigued) by what happened after submitting his articles. They were first dissected by the paper’s notorious fact-checking staff, requiring him to provide additional sources or other forms of corroboration about the tiniest issues. Having finished that, it was time for what JB calls the style police, to suggest textual improvements… This reader finds the Introduction describing these processes one of the highlights of this wonderful and rich collection, which often deals (in-)directly with political issues. All the fact checking makes it also a must for future historians.Few readers will relish all 15 article with equal fervor. This reader skipped an analysis of the English Christmas pantomime, but greatly enjoyed re-reading JB’s now more than 20 years’ old musings about Britain’s scandal-ridden politics and royalty, the latter subject also a matter of great interest to US readers. The opening of the Channel tunnel gave Francophile JB a golden opportunity to compare how both nations have viewed each other over time. There is a gripping behind-the-scenes account of the chess world title match between incumbent Gary Kasparov and Britain’s hapless challenger Nigel Short. Other noteworthy items include an assessment of the first five years of Salman Rushdie’s life since Ayatollah Khomeiny’s fatwa and a lively account of Tony Blair’s first months in office and how he managed to gain that position.My favorite is his piece about the once venerable bank and insurer Lloyd’s and how many of its thousands, then tens of thousands “Names” (risk underwriters) came to grief. Brilliantly written, sensing already in 1993 more than a whiff of the irresponsibility of the financial sector that exploded in 2008, it is a real page turner.“Letters from London” suffers the fate of other books published before say, 1996. It is under-reviewed on the internet and probably no longer in print. Shame! This gem of a book is probably yours for a pittance, secondhand. Go for it and enjoy the combined excellence of Julian Barnes and “The New Yorker”.
