Abstract

Julian Barnes demonstrates a consistent interest in the relationship between science and literature. For him, writing is a substitution of the religious faith destroyed by advances in science. This paper examines how different aspects of science are represented in each of his novels, with an aim to recapitulate Julian Barnes' thought about truth and aging against the background of current studies of the relationship between science and literature.
