Description
This nonfiction work is what Barth callls "an arrangement of essays and occaisonal lectures, some previously published, most not, most on matters literary, some not, accumulated over 30 years or so of writing, teaching and teaching writing". Barth speculates on the future of literature and the literature of the future. He looks back too upon historical fiction and fictitous history.
