Description
For decades, acclaimed author John Barth has strayed from his Monday-through-Thursday-morning routine of fiction-writing and dedicated Friday mornings to the muse of nonfiction. The result is "Final Fridays," his third essay collection, following "The Friday Book" (1984) and "Further Fridays" (1995). Sixteen years and six novels since his last volume of non-fiction, Barth delivers yet another remarkable work comprised of 27 insightful essays. With pieces covering everything from reading, writing, and the state of the art, to tributes to writer-friends and family members, this collection is witty and engaging throughout. Barth's "unaffected love of learning" ("San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle") and "joy in thinking that becomes contagious" ("Washington Post"), shine through in this third, and, with an implied question mark, final essay collection.
