When John Barth's Lost in the Funhouse appeared in 1968, American
fiction was turned on its head. Barth's writing was not a response
to the realistic fiction that characterized American literature at
the time; it beckoned back to the founders of the novel: Cervantes,
Rabelais, and Sterne, echoing their playfulness and reflecting the
freedom inherent in the writing of fiction. This collection of
Barth's short fiction is a landmark event, bringing all of his
previous collections together in one volume for the first time. Its
occasion helps readers assess a remarkable lifetime's work and
represents an important chapter in the history of American
literature. Dalkey Archive will reissue a number of Barth's novels
over the next few years, preserving his work for generations to
come.
