Summary:Based on the archives of the British writer Julian Barnes relating to Flaubert’s Parrot (1984), the paper proposes to explore several elements of the genesis of this transgeneric book as well as some aspects of the creative process in order to determine the ways in which Barnes chose to approach Flaubert’s work and life.
