Though I wrote a master’s thesis on Julian Barnes’ novels. I’d never actually heard his voice until today. Surprisingly, he sounds almost exactly like I would have expected him to. I’ve read a good many interviews with him, but I’d never heard one before now. This one is from several years back, I suspect, as most of the discussion concerns Staring at the Sun (1986). But most of the comments are about writing itself and Barnes’ own way of going about it. Definitely worth your time, if you’re a fan at all. It’s 00:08:36 (hh:mm:ss) in length: stream or download. There’s a transcript, too, but I can’t figure out how to link it (follow the first link for it).
