A Voice from 'Flaubert's Parrot' Returns
| Barnes has translated and edited a late-19th-century diary by the French writer Alphonse Daudet, describing his last days battling syphilis. He told a London newspaper, "I quoted it a couple if times [in Flaubert's Parrot], and it never went away from me." In the Land of Pain is to be published in early 2003.
