Many people wrote about the “wild sixties.” Very many. But — no one had done it THAT way, the way Julian Barnes did— the only one who didn’t cry, but instead laughed at the “rise and fall of a wonderful era.”

This is “Metroland.” The book that people were desperately in love with—and just as desperately outraged. A book that can inspire either delight or outrage. A book you can laugh at—or cry over. A book that cannot leave anyone indifferent.
