«England, England» is the satirical novel by Julian Barnes, published by Vintage in paperback (288 pages, in English).
Tycoon Sir Jack Pitman creates a theme park on the Isle of Wight with an idealized England: Big Ben at half scale, the grave of Lady Di, and Harrods. Martha Cochrane, a project employee, helps him realize it, but the replica ends up imposing itself on the original. A philosophical satire on authenticity, national identity, and collective memory.
The novel was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1998; this Vintage International edition has 288 pages and is written in English.
For readers of British humour and contemporary fiction interested in national identity and the boundaries between the authentic and the artificial.
Julian Patrick Barnes is an English essayist, novelist and short story writer.
