Editorial Reviews:
Review:"The first section...is an exercise in the post-Portnoy school of adolescent self-revelation, the 'Look what a shit I am' movement of which Martin Amis has hitherto been the outstanding practitioner. Barnes handles it cleverly enough, but..in the second section...he suddenly goes much deeper. The account of a boy's emergence from the self-absorption of adolescence is grippingly and sensitively done...If all first works of fiction were as thoughtful, as subtle, as well-constructed and as funny as 'Metroland' there would be no more talk of the death of the novel."
Nicholas Shrimpton, New Statesman, 03/28/1980
Review:"...he seems to respect the foibles and poses of adolescence and young manhood as things to be cherished and valued in their own right rather than merely being excuses for a few easy laughs; a fact which makes 'Metroland' a rare and unusual first novel."
William Boyd, London Magazine, 10/1980
