Extractions: By Blair Mahoney John Barth Lost in the Barthhouse For whom is the fiction of John Barth fun? Perhaps for lovers of complex metafictions. For people constrained by nineteenth century notions of realist literature it is a place of fear and confusion . Typographical play, such as the use of, and explanation of the function of, italics is a feature of John Barth's story "Lost in the Funhouse," which appears in the volume Lost in the Funhouse. In that story Barth observes that italic type is "the customary type for titles of complete works, not to mention." John Barth is "at that awkward age." He was born May 27, 1930 on B_ Street in D_ County, Maryland. Once again, Barth has something to say about the substitution of initials for proper names in nineteenth century fiction in order to heighten the sense of reality: "It is as if the author felt it necessary to delete the names for reasons of tact or legal liability. Interestingly, as with other aspects of realism, it is an illusion that is being enhanced, by purely artificial means." Barth's great skill (or one of many great skills he possesses) is to lay bare these illusions which underlie fictional narratives, pulling back the curtain to reveal not an omnipotent creator/omniscient narrator, but an aging Professor Emeritus in the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University. When you open up one of John Barth's books you know you're not in Kansas anymore (if you take "Kansas" to metaphorically stand for the world of "conventional" realist literature, rather than literally referring to the state in the central US pop. (est. 1990) 2,477,570; capital, Topeka; acquired as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and became the 34th state of the US in 1861 which wouldn't make a lot of sense, especially if, like myself, you've never even been to Kansas).

Extractions: Buy now from Amazon.com. Synopsis This is truly the novel that turned Barth's career around. Those not interested in reading Barth's complete canon should start here. The Sot-Weed Factor is one of the landmark works of Fabulism and Postmodernism, not to mention a screamingly funny book. An imaginative romp through early colonial Maryland with a (partially) fictitious poet named Ebenezer Cooke, Sot-Weed Factor (which means "tobacco salesman") introduces Barth's penchant for fancy wordplay, ontological tricks, historical parody, and existential games. There are echoes of Joseph Campbell's mythical hero track here, though Barth would later claim that this was not intentional. Barth released a revised version of the book in 1967, shaving off some 50 pages of what he considered extraneous material. The jacket of the original hardcover edition of Sot-Weed was done by none other than the late, great Edward Gorey of

Extractions: reread John Barth's second novel, The End of the Road last week, looking for traces of my own far-off inspiration; I'd first read the book six years earlier, before starting As She Climbed Across the Table, and I recalled it as an influence without particularly remembering how it had influenced me. Or exactly how much. Rereading it I was struck by how much I'd forgotten in almost every sensethe tone and texture of the book, as well as the plot, and how deeply it had reached into me and shaped the fiction I was about to write. Meaning to set a novel on a college campus, I'd undertaken that year to read as many novels with academic settings as I could stand. That's what led me to The End of the Road. Thus, because it was read as a part of the 'research' on settings, I'd falsely recalled that the influence of Barth's book was mainly on the setting of Table (pun half-intended). In fact, the campus setting of Road is almost incidental to the book, and seems anyway not to have infiltrated mine. My campus is instead indebted to Don DeLillo's in End Zone and White Noise , and to Malcolm Bradbury's in The History Man (especially the parties). While on this subject I suppose I should note that the campus in my book stems at least a little from direct

Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation ... Authors John Barth (1930- ) Index John Barth, a native of Maryland, is more interested in how a story is told than in the story itself, but where Pynchon deludes the reader by false trails and possible clues out of detective novels, Barth entices his audience into a carnival fun- house full of distorting mirrors that exaggerate some features while minimizing others. Realism is the enemy for Barth, the author of Lost in the Funhouse (1968), 14 stories that constantly refer to the processes of writing and reading. Barth's intent is to alert the reader to the artificial nature of reading and writing, and to prevent him or her from being drawn into the story as if it were real. To explode the illusion of realism, Barth uses a panoply of reflexive devices to remind his audience that they are reading. Barth's earlier works, like

Apmonia How it is with Samuel Beckett in many parts as it is heard and said. The mediation of the heart, or, as Beckett summed up his own work, simply a stain upon silence, is what we contemplate here. What can be said to that? What can be said about that? What can be said? Sometimes laughter when it seems worth the effort. How it will be with Samuel Beckett to be heard and said. Come in and wait for it all to mean something. Legend states that the Web is just one manifestation of the Library of Babel, an echo through time and space of something higher and possibly more profound; and if used correctly, perhaps a portal to the world of Orbis Tertius; or maybe it's an endless and circular novel, or even a maze.... Porta Ludovica Impossibly located at a confluence of roads which are never the same twice, Porta Ludovica shelters the visions of prophets and fools alike, where dreamers piece together the history of their past lives, and the deluded hatch conspiracies in the darkness of ignorance. Be careful, for language here is a shimmering trap, and books can cast their spells over all whether scholar or murderer; madman or monk.

Extractions: " Mr. Barth has served his readers as handsomely as the best of storytellers. Now he chooses to philosophize with us, between novels, and we find that we are on trial. . . . It is Mr. Barth's privilege to look into the mater, and to make us look too, but he seems to have made himself as uncomfortable as the reader invisibly across from him." Chimera "Literally, 'Chimera' is a shut-your-critic's-mouth exhibition of the crafty master's craft. The act of writing in the written. Imagination imagined, eating itself, saying what it tastes like, good, bad and terrific and, as if such behavior were basically offensive to a writer, full of self-revulsion."

Extractions: More history is made by secret handshakes than by battles, bills and proclamations. Nothing is intrinsically valuable; the value of everything is attributed to it, assigned to it from outside the thing itself, by people. Like an ox-cart driver in monsoon season or the skipper of a grounded ship, one must sometimes go forward by going back. Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story.
