Abstract:

Most of the fictional and nonfictional works by Julian Barnes deal with identity-related memory. By raking up the theme of memory, we are led to some interesting discoveries about the author’s persistence in his postmodernist literary investigation into the nature of narrative art and the ethical implications thereof. A logical development is expected to be found between the two through close textual analysis, so as to reveal aspects of his unique moral concern.
