This is a collection of Julian Barnes's writing for "The New Yorker".
Since 1990, Barnes has written a regular "Letter from London" which has
covered such subjects as the Lloyd's insurance disaster, the rise and
fall of Margaret Thatcher, the troubles of the Royal Family, and of
Nigel Short in his battle with Gary Kasparov in the 1993 World Chess
Finals. Barnes assesses Salman Rushdie's plight and the Harrods
take-over, and also analyzes the implications of being linked to the
continent via the Channel tunnel, and Tony Blair's prospects as the
Labour leader. His essays aim to provide a portrait of 1990s Britain.
