The John Barth Info Center > Who Is John Barth? Who Is John Barth? MORE ABOUT BARTH Barth for Beginners. An excellent introduction to the works of John Barth, by Mal McCormack. A Group of Scholars Gathers by Eggplant For... Yes. Well, Wow. A front page article in the Wall Street Journal about Barthomania from 1973. Once upon a time, Barth was the hippest writer in America. Nowadays many consider his concerns with the mythical story cycle and the mechanics of storytelling relics from the '60s. While college students still read stories from Lost in the Funhouse in literature classes, his works do not seem to maintain the same kind of cultural resonance as, say, those of Thomas Pynchon or Don DeLillo. It doesn't help that Barth's novels are almost entirely unfilmable, rarely touch on current affairs, and don't trek in self-pity or ingratiating sarcasm or apocalyptic pessimism. So why post a site dedicated to John Barth? Because he is one of the most influential authors of the second half of the twentieth century. Because I have found surprisingly little published on the web about him and his works. And because, despite all his literary pyrotechnics, he remains one of the best simple story-tellers alive today. (It's also a nice excuse to post some reviews and an interview with Barth I conducted in 1991 to promote his

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

Blair Mahoney Interviews John Barth 26 January 2001 I recently wrote to John Barth to ask him a few questions now that his new novel is imminent. This is a verbatim transcript of the exchange. Somewhat disappointingly he wasn't very forthcoming in his responses to my questions, but, as he says, he isn't very keen on interviews: John Barth: I really don't enjoy interviews once every 10 years or so is enough, to measure mind-changes and inevitably, with new book from new publisher, there'll be more unavoidable ones than I wish. But a) I'm grateful for your critical attention, and b) my wife & I much enjoyed a prowl through NZ a few years ago. So here're very short answers to yr questions, followed by a batch of "pre-ponses" that I fend off interviewers with and that you're welcome to quote from, as others have done. Blair Mahoney: Your new novel, Coming Soon!!! , has been coming soon for quite some time now (your last full-length work, On With the Story , was published in 1996). Five years between major works is not unusual (some writers have taken twenty years or more between novels), but I believe the novel was intended to appear in 2000. Are there particular reasons for the delay aside from a writer's desire to continue fine-tuning his work? JB: Simply didn't get done "on schedule;" see pre-ponses, below.

26. John Barth (b. 1930) Teaching guide to Lost in the Funhouse and barth's other works. http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/bassr/heath/syllabuild/iguide/barth.html

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.

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.
