“Flaubert’s Parrot:
Short-listed for the Booker Prize in 1984, and winner of the 1985 Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, Flaubert’s Parrot is told in the voice of one Geoffrey Braithwaite, a man obsessed with Flaubert, down to the tiniest detail of his life.  However, as one reads on, other reasons for his compulsion become clear.
Talking it Over:
The book that introduced the Gillian, Stuart and Oliver triumvirate.  One by one the three sides of the triangle speak straight to the camera, giving the view from where they stand.  What begins as a comedy of misunderstanding soon becomes an exploration of the quagmires of the human heart.”
