John Barth (b. 1930) Contributing Editor: Julius Rowan Raper Classroom Issues and Strategies To call an author "a writers' writer" is often the kiss of death. Yet Barth in "Lost in the Funhouse" and in other works goes out of his way to draw to himself this label that sets him apart from more popular "men's writers" (or "businessmen's writers") like Ernest Hemingway or "women's writers" like Willa Cather . By foregrounding the writerly nature of his work, Barth, perhaps more than any American author before him, prevents his readers from ignoring the style and form of his work while they pursue the content. Rather than focus on the relatively accessible content about Ambrose, Peter, Magda, and the three adults, as a teacher I want students to speculate about Barth's reasons for so intrusively and self-consciously focusing on the writing process. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues At least three large explanations for the self-consciousness of Barth's works come to mind. In Chimera he will have the Genie report that in the U.S. in our time "the only readers of artful fiction [are] critics, other writers, and unwilling students who, left to themselves, [prefer] music and pictures to words." In short, a serious writer has to recognize that his only willing readers are other writers; that he or she is, in fact, a writers' writer.

Johns Hopkins (B.A. 1951, M.A. 1952). He has taught at Johns Hopkins Univ. since 1973. Barth's novels, experimental, comic, and often rather sprawling, reflect his anger and despair at a world he finds ludicrous and meaningless. He has a particular gift for parody. The Sot-Weed Factor (1960) is set in 17th-century Maryland and deftly satirizes historical novels. His other novels include The Floating Opera The End of the Road Giles Goat-Boy Chimera Letters Sabbatical (1982), and The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor See studies by C. B. Harris (1983) and E.

Time Summary A man and woman, probably late middle-aged and married, check into a tropical holiday resort for their last annual vacation. One of them is dying. The man begins telling stories to the woman, as he has promised to, in the unspoken hope of postponing the ending that will separate them. The book consists of the twelve stories he tells, interspersed with her responses to the stories. Each story is in some way about the same two things: about being half of a coupleabout love, partnership, and the prospect of lossand about narrativeabout communication, the construction of meaning, and about the way all stories (and lives), sooner or later, must end. Like their teller, though, these stories do their best not to reach closure. An example is the second story, "Ad Infinitum," in which a woman receives some bad news by telephonewe deduce it concerns her husband's cancer diagnosisand goes out to where he is working in the garden in order to tell him the news. She has to cross the space of the garden before giving him the information that will change everything for the worse, beginning the end of his life and their marriage.

ART OF THE STORY November Elizabeth Farnsworth interviews John Barth, writer of both short stories and novels . ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: John Barth is, as he has said, both marathoner and sprinter, novelist and short story writer. He's known for 800-page novels like "The Sot-Weed Factor" and collections of short stories. This month, he received the coveted PEN-Malamud Award for excellence in short fiction. His most recent collection is "On with the Story," a series of related tales about, among other things, how storytelling can or cannot keep death at bay. Barth also received a $100,000 lifetime achievement award last month from the Santa Fe, New Mexico-based Lannen Foundation. He is Professor Emeritus in the writing seminars at Johns Hopkins University. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Thank you very much for being with us, and congratulations. JOHN BARTH, Writer: My pleasure. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Which do you prefer writing -short stories or novels? JOHN BARTH: Well, you said sprinter and marathoner, and there's no question about it, that by temperament and metabolism I'm a marathoner. "Prefer" is not the wrong word, because they're both great fun when all is going well, and they're both not fun at all when things aren't going well. But I'm usually by temperament in for the long haul. Once every four years for me is the median time, and that seems to be just about enough time to invent a new identity, a new voice, and face the enormous expanse of whiteness that has to be filled with little marks that translate into, we hope, good literature.

As for me, I subscribe to John Barth's Tragic View of Categories: "Terms like Romanticism, Modernism, and Postmodernism are more or less useful and necessary fictions: roughly approximate maps, more likely to lead us to something like a destination if we don't confuse them with what they're meant to be maps of." A self-described nominalist in such matters, Barth maintains that the actual fictions we designate asor, as the case may be, maintain are something other thanpostmodernist, "have ontological primacy . . . over the category Post-modernist fiction. " In other words, "whether a particular novel . . . is Late Modernist, Postmodernist, Post-Post-modernist, or none of the above, while it's not an unworthy question, is of less importanceat least it ought to be sothan the question Is it terrific?

No. 1 Online Edition SPECIAL SALEany 100 Dalkey titles for $500 "The Parallels!" Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges John Barth I discovered Italo Calvino's fiction in 1968, the year Cosmicomics appeared in this country in William Weaver's translation. I was teaching then at the State University of New York at Buffalo and had fallen much under the spell of Jorge Luis Borges, whom I had discovered just a couple of years earlier. In that condition of enchantment I had published in '68 a sort of protopostmodernist manifesto called "The Literature of Exhaustion" and also my maiden collection of short stories, entitled Lost in the Funhouse and subtitled Fiction for Print, Tape, Live Voice (that particular deployment of the term "fiction" is of course a salute to Borges's ficciones ). In short, the ground had been prepared for my delight in Calvino's Cosmicomics and then in his t zero stories, which appeared in Mr. Weaver's English the following year. Here, I thought, was a sort of Borges without tears, or better, a Borges con molto brio: lighter-spirited than the great Argentine, often downright funny (as Sr. Borges almost never is), yet comparably virtuosic in form and language, comparably rich in intelligence and imagination.

amerika Dirk Vanderbeke (Greifswald) Vineland in the Novels of John Barth and Thomas Pynchon At the end of the first chapter of Pynchon's novel The Crying of Lot 49 , the heroine Oedipa Maas is reminded of a trip to Mexico with her former and now late lover Pierce Inverarity. In Mexico City they somehow wandered into an exhibition of paintings by the beautiful Spanish exile Remidios Varo: in the central painting of a triptych, titled "Bordando el Manto Terreste", were a number of frail girls with heart-shaped faces, huge eyes, spun-gold hair, prisoners in the top room of a circular tower, embroidering a kind of tapestry which spilled out the slit windows and into a void, seeking hopelessly to fill the void: for all the other buildings and creatures, all the waves, ships and forests of the earth were contained in this tapestry, and the tapestry was the world. (Pynchon 1967, 10) And if you finally travel along the branching lines of the V up to 40° of latitude, you will come to Vineland: i.e. the actually existing town of Vineland, New Jersey, in the East and the fictional city and county of Vineland in the West. When Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland was published in 1990, the initial V. served to some extent as a trademark of the obscure author, and after 17 years of silence since
