Focusing on Julian Barnes's "Flaubert’s Parrot", this essay describes the book as a signal example of postmodernist irony, since the novel does not take anything seriously and turns critical playfulness into a method, in an attempt not only to deconstruct the conventional approach to biography, but to investigate the ‘possible worlds’ that narratives create as well as the complex referential relation between language and reality.
