Julian Barnes is one of the most famous novelists in contemporary Britain.His novel England,England,by fictionalizing the future of England in the third millennium,describes the national mentality of Britain shrouded in Postcolonial Melancholia,and reflects the fragility of localization in the face of"American-ized"globalization and the difficulty of individual seeking the identity of the subject in the post-modernist soci-ety under the cultural imperialism in the new stage of capitalism.Barnes'writing is a kind of reflective nostal-gia,pointing to a more real future,and in which he places his hope for the real future on the cultural intimacy between people and life,which reflects his humanistic care.
