Description
John Barth is an amazingly versatile novelist who has attempted every imaginable fictional genre from word games to a tale told by a computer. Jac Tharpe s brilliant analysis is the first and only comprehensive study to date to attempt to chart Barth s philosophical, comic, and stylistic development.Ranging through the entire corpus of Barth s work"The Floating Opera," " The End of the Road," "The Sot-Weed Factor," " Giles Goat-Boy," " Lost in the Funhouse," " "and "Chimera"Tharpe assesses Barth s achievement as a completely intellectual yet marvelously carnal comic writer. Especially valuable is his investigation of Barth s language and artistic technique."
