==Early life==
Barnes was born in Leicester, although his family moved to the outer suburbs of London six weeks afterwards. Both of his parents were teachers of French.〔 He has said that his support for Leicester City Football Club was, aged four or five, "a sentimental way of hanging on" to his home city.〔 He was educated at the City of London School from 1957 to 1964. At the age of 10, Barnes was told by his mother that he had "too much imagination".〔 In 1956 the family moved to Northwood, Middlesex, the 'Metroland' of his first novel.〔 He then went on to Magdalen College, Oxford, where he studied Modern Languages.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Julian Barnes Website: Biography of Julian Barnes )〕 After graduation, he worked as a lexicographer for the Oxford English Dictionary supplement for three years.〔 He then worked as a reviewer and literary editor for the ''New Statesman'' and the ''New Review''.〔 During his time at the ''New Statesman'', Barnes suffered from debilitating shyness, saying: "When there were weekly meetings I would be paralysed into silence, and was thought of as the mute member of staff".〔 From 1979 to 1986 he worked as a television critic, first for the ''New Statesman'' and then for ''The Observer''.〔
