2009. 273 p. hortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction As every schoolboy
knows, you can fit the whole of England on the Isle of Wight. Grotesque,
visionary tycoon Sir Jack Pitman takes the saying literally and does
exactly that. He constructs on the island 'The Project', a vast heritage
centre containing everything 'English', from Big Ben to Stonehenge,
from Manchester United to the white cliffs of Dover. The project is
monstrous, risky, and vastly successful. In fact, it gradually begins to
rival 'Old' England and even threatens to supersede it...One of
Barnes's finest and funniest novels, England, England calls into
question the idea of replicas, truth vs fiction, reality vs art,
nationhood, myth-making, and self-exploration.
