Flaubert's Parrot is a novel by Julian Barnes that was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1984,[1] and won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize and the Prix Médicis Essai in 1985 and 1986 respectively.[2][3] The novel recites amateur Gustave Flaubert expert Geoffrey Braithwaite's musings on his subject's life, and his own, as he looks for a stuffed parrot that inspired the great author.
