"The Dead Father "is a gargantuan half-dead, half-alive, part
mechanical, wise, vain, powerful being who still has hopes for
himself--even while he is being dragged by means of a cable toward
a mysterious goal. In this extraordinary novel, marked by the
imaginative use of language that influenced a generation of fiction
writers, Donald Barthelme offered a glimpse into his fictional
universe. As Donald Antrim writes in his introduction, "Reading
"The Dead Father," one has the sense that its author enjoys an
almost complete artistic freedom . . . a permission to reshape,
misrepresent, or even ignore the world as we find it . . . Laughing
along with its author, we escape anxiety and feel alive."
