In his first collection of short stories, Barnes explores the narrow body of water containing the vast sea of prejudice and misapprehension which lies between England and France with acuity humor, and compassion. For whether Barness English characters come to France as conquerors or hostages, laborers, athletes, or aesthetes, what they discover, alongside rich food and barbarous sexual and religious practices, is their own ineradicable Englishness. The ten stories that make up Cross Channel introduce us to a plethora of intriguing, original, and sometimes ill-fated characters. Elegantly conceived and seductively written, Cross Channel is further evidence of Barnes's wizardry."Barnes is a witty, playful and ironic writer at the top of his form...Cross Channel is in the best sense an artful book."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Fluently written, finely observed...delicately patterned."--New York Times
Review:
"'Cross Channel', whether 'Post-Modernist' or not, strikes me as perhaps Barnes's most assured work so far."
P. N. Furbank, London Review of Books, 01/04/1995
Review:"If you are not prepared to have your intelligence flattered or your ignorance highlighted by a few French literary allusions, you'd better give this one a miss....It is a rare thing to read a collection of short stories and, on reaching the end, be able to remember vividly each and every one."
Teresa Waugh, Literary Review, 01/1996
