In the early 1980s Donald Barthelme was widely recognized in the
United States as one of the major figures in contemporary
postmodernism, a key and central experimental writer. In this
study, originally published in 1982, two leading critics present
Donald Barthelme's work in its most radical and innovative aspects.
Their essay combines textual analysis, critical theory and cultural
awareness and aims at investigating the impact of Barthelme's
fictions on the reader and at defining the type of reading
experience and pleasure such fictions can produce. Included in the
aspects of Donald Barthelme's work discussed here are his use of
language, his sense of comedy, his parody, his vision of the modern
self as fragmented and displaced, and his relation to
psychoanalysis and other forms of art.
