Barnes on Zola's Thérèse Raquin
Julian Barnes. "Blood and Nerves." The Guardian, 25 November 2006.
From the article:"Zola, as if deliberately marking the difference between genres, takes his three-act novel and turns it into a four-act play. The essential action and the central characters are retained, but he is clear-sighted to the point of ruthlessness -- a rare quality in writers adapting their own stuff -- about what won't work in the theatre."
Thérèse Raquin is at the National Theatre, London SE1, until February 21.

Hello Mr.Barnes.We are the russian students.In this term we are reading and analysing your book "A history of the world...".It's very interesting.But we have two questions: why did you organize chapters in that consecution and why is it 10 1/2 chapters?Could you be so kind to answer these questions?
