In another work by this author of Staring at the Sun, Veronica Ford's mother leaves the narrator, Tony Webster, the diary of his suicidal former classmate Adrian Finn. That novel takes its title from the most famous work of Frank Kermode. He based another of his novels on the Great Wyrley Outrages, in which a half-Indian solicitor was accused of mutilating animals but was later exonerated by the creator of Sherlock Holmes. In his most famous novel, Geoffrey Braithwaite tours a number of French museums while searching for the real object that sat on the desk of the author of A Simple Heart. For 10 points, identify this author of The Sense of an Ending, Arthur and George, and Flaubert's Parrot, who was going to be the subject of this tossup even before he won the 2011 Booker Prize.
