Flaubert's Parrot deals with Flaubert, parrots, bears and railways;
with our sense of the past and our sense of abroad;
with France and England, life and art, sex and death, George Sand and Louise Colet, aesthetics and redcurrant jam;
and with its enigmatic narrator, a retired English doctor, whose life and secrets are slowly revealed.A compelling weave of fiction and imaginatively ordered fact, Flaubert's Parrot is by turns moving and entertaining, witty and scholarly, and a tour de force of seductive originality.
