Bruce Sesto's book offers moderate insight
into Barnes's work. Covering Metroland through The
Porcupine, the work is essentially Sesto's dissertation
published in the mid-1990s. Contains a few errors, but otherwise
a harmless examination of Barnes's work. Considering the price,
try consulting other works before attempting this one.

Merritt Moseley's
book represents perhaps the first book-length study of Barnes's
work. Moseley covers Metroland through The Porcupine,
including some short stories and Barnes's pseudonymous work
as Dan Kavanagh. Written at a basic level, this book offers
a nice introduction to Barnes's major works and themes.
