Extractions: Filed Under Uncategorized If literary blogs exist to dredge up the underrated authors of our time, I must ask why the litblogosphere, so capable of unearthing the neglected, has remained so silent concerning the great novelist John Barth. If Gilbert Sorrentino, William Gaddis, and David Markson cut the mustard with their postmodernist innovations, then Barth likewise deserves a spot in the This Guy is the Real Deal pantheon. Here is a novelist who playfully uses first person plural in Sabbatical to represent a romantic escapade on the Chesapeake Bay with the apparent descendants of Edgar Allan Poe and Francis Scott Key. Here is a novelist who, in his early trilogy of novels The Floating Opera The End of the Road , and The Sot-Weed Factor , takes the piss out of absolutist thinking: Todd Andrews, the protagonist of The Floating Opera A Frolic of His Own The End of the Road Likewise The Sot-Weed Factor Why not Barth? He regularly subverts conventional narrative. He is very funny and regularly irreverent. He is often unapologetically preoccupied with sex. He sneaks in little tidbits about mythology, history, and little-known procedures of the law. And his work often bristles with a warm-hearted sense of mischief, even when the scenario being described is an extremely troubling one involving abortion, rape, or suicide.

I expect that other campaigns feel the same way.â Now, Obama could have responded to the demeaning remarks by Robert Johnson this weekend. The founder of BET dropped strong hints before a Hillary crowd in South Carolina that a young Obama's use of drugs somehow played into the street culture of the Black community. The last Hillary supporter who said something like this had to resign. But Hillary was at the rally and said nothing.

Extractions: ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: John Barth is, as he has said, both marathoner and sprinter, novelist and short story writer. He's known for 800-page novels like "The Sot-Weed Factor" and collections of short stories. This month, he received the coveted PEN-Malamud Award for excellence in short fiction. His most recent collection is "On with the Story," a series of related tales about, among other things, how storytelling can or cannot keep death at bay. Barth also received a $100,000 lifetime achievement award last month from the Santa Fe, New Mexico-based Lannen Foundation. He is Professor Emeritus in the writing seminars at Johns Hopkins University. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Thank you very much for being with us, and congratulations.

Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fifth Edition John Barths birth on May 22, 1930, in Cambridge, a small southern town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, established his claim to one of the strongest literary heritages in twentieth-century America, the modernist tradition that took root in the American South through the novels that William Faulkner and Thomas Wolfe wrote during the 1920s and 1930s. Despite an early focus on music, Barth, who in 1953 became a college writing teacher, absorbed this tradition well enough to give his first two novels, The Floating Opera (1956) and The End of the Road (1958), the strong sense of place and fate commonly found in modern southern fiction. Barths first two books, however, also exhibited a playfulness closer to the improvisations of modern jazz, his earlier passion, and to the black humor emerging in the fifties, than to modern southern fiction. The novels parodied the existential movement, the dominant tendency of European writing during the late modernist period; The Floating Opera expresses Barths comic response to Camuss earnest and familiar defense of suicide while The End of the Road pushes Sartres views of commitment and protean freedom to sardonic extremes. In short, Barth was already experimenting with one of his favorite devices, the practice of framing seemingly exhausted literary modes by reworking them from radically different perspectives to renew them and thereby replenish the literary tradition. Eventually, his use of parody and frames would be his major contribution to the (then) undetected emergence of postmodernism, the dominant cultural development of the second half of the twentieth century and a movement in which Barth is regarded as the major American literary practitioner and advocate.

Dirk Vanderbeke - Vineland In The Novels Of John Barth And Thomas Pynchon
In john barth s novel, the ability to choose remains a sine qua non of existence even after the evaluation of alternatives has long lost its relevance.

Extractions: amerika Dirk Vanderbeke (Greifswald) Vineland in the Novels of John Barth and Thomas Pynchon At the end of the first chapter of Pynchon's novel The Crying of Lot 49 , the heroine Oedipa Maas is reminded of a trip to Mexico with her former and now late lover Pierce Inverarity. In Mexico City they somehow wandered into an exhibition of paintings by the beautiful Spanish exile Remidios Varo: in the central painting of a triptych, titled "Bordando el Manto Terreste", were a number of frail girls with heart-shaped faces, huge eyes, spun-gold hair, prisoners in the top room of a circular tower, embroidering a kind of tapestry which spilled out the slit windows and into a void, seeking hopelessly to fill the void: for all the other buildings and creatures, all the waves, ships and forests of the earth were contained in this tapestry, and the tapestry was the world. (Pynchon 1967, 10) And if you finally travel along the branching lines of the V up to 40° of latitude, you will come to Vineland: i.e. the actually existing town of Vineland, New Jersey, in the East and the fictional city and county of Vineland in the West. When Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland was published in 1990, the initial V. served to some extent as a trademark of the obscure author, and after 17 years of silence since

http://www.libyrinth.com/borges/borges_infl_barth.html

Extractions: John Barth By Blair Mahoney A former professor of creative writing at Johns Hopkins University, John Barth is one of the more important writers to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century. He was born in Cambridge, Maryland in 1931 and various aspects of his life will be familiar to readers of his novels, as he continually writes of growing up in Maryland and English professors/writers who love sailing. His oft-cited influences, apart from Borges, are Joyce, Cervantes, Homer's Odyssey, and The Arabian Nights. He has published thirteen books, including Giles Goat-Boy, The Sot-Weed Factor, and Chimera, which won the National Book Award in 1973. Lost in the Funhouse The book for which he is best known, however, is Lost in the Funhouse, a collection of short stories which most explicitly bears the influence of Borges. (In his recent autobiography Once Upon a Time: A Floating Opera, Barth writes of the influence of Borges on the gestation of Lost in the Funhouse The title story in particular (not the story called "Title") appears to be an attempt to produce the type of fiction described in Borges's "The Garden of Forking Paths." In all fictional works, each time a man is confronted with several alternatives, he chooses one and eliminates the others; in the fiction of Ts'ui Pên, he chooses

Extractions: Karl Barth (1886-1968) has been arguably the most significant and, in one way or another, the most influential theologian of the twentieth century. If the number of recent publications are anything to measure his continuing importance by, it appears that the twentieth first century cannot forget him either. The indications are that Barth's shadow still casts itself over much of what passes for theological discourse.

Johns Hopkins Magazine - September 1994 Issue
Essay by john barth from the johns Hopkins Magazine.
http://www.jhu.edu/~jhumag/994web/culture1.html

Extractions: Novelist A mere 13 years ago, in 1981, the staff of the Hopkins Writing Seminars received its first word-processed manuscript in an application to our graduate program in fiction-writing. Although the piece itself was not extraordinary, I was impressed by its virtually published look; it was, in fact, an early specimen of "desktop publishing." Remembering how instructively chastened I had been to see my own apprentice efforts first set in official, impersonal printwhich seemed to me to make manifest both their small strengths and their large shortcomingsI imagined that this novel mode of manuscript-production might afford our apprentice writers some measure of that essential critical detachment. The farther their words were removed from autograph longhand, I reasoned, and even from homely old-fashioned typescript, the more objectively the author could assess them. I showed the handsome specimen to our senior fiction-visitor that year, Leonard Michaels, and expressed my pedagogical sentiments: wave of the future, etc. Michaels took one suspicious look at the justified right-hand margins, the crisp print and handsome typefaces, and said, "This is terrible! They're going to think the stuff's finished, and it only looks that way." He was right, of course. Indeed, I have repeated this anecdote annually to each new crop of Writing Seminarians by way of cautioning them against fancy presentations of what is, after all, still work in process. No justified margins, please; no designer typography (unless it's part of the sense of the script). Just give us and your future editors tidy, well-copyedited pages, I advise them, remarkable only for their author's manifest talent. Leave publishing to the publishers.

Such visitations are, I believe, a generally worthwhile feature of any college writing program: beneficial to the visitor, obviously, who gets paid or otherwise rewarded and may possibly gain a few additional readers; potentially enlightening for the visitor's audience (even those whose curiosity may be more sociological, anthropological, or even clinical than literary); and at least marginally beneficial for the host as well, as I shall attempt to illustrate. intoxicating poetry reading I've ever heard.
