Talk:Julian Barnes

message: I have removed from this article the allegation added by an  an anonymous user on 3rd Dec, 2005 that Barnes had "lifted" a story idea and plot elements.  No reference is offered for this allegation, and a google search found no other reference to it.  BrownHairedGirl 03:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Arthur & George.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title:  Copyright problem 

message: Having read and re-read several novels by Barnes recently I was somewhat surprised to find that he is considered a postmodern writer. My overall impression was that he was not highly experimental. This article has no real discussion of this matter. I know that the views of several critics support the idea that he is a postmodernist, but wonder if this is the view of the majority? .Rwood128 (talk) 16:44, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Do we have a source for him translating the Kriegel book? I'm suspicious because a) the Amazon listing I looked at mentions an introduction by Barnes, but doesn't specify a translator (not an ideal source, of course); b) it's not mentioned on his site -- http://julianbarnes.com/books/index.html -- which does mention the Daudet translation; c) I'm not aware of German being one of his many talents.

replies: text: I take it all back: the BL catalogue gives Barnes as translator too.  HenryFlower 19:23, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
