www.ReaAward.org References Themodernworld.com's feature on Donald Barthelme Donald Barthelme was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, when he was two years old, his family moved to Houston, Texas. His father was an architect of 'modern' school of Mies van der Rohe -"something of an anomaly in Texas in the thirties," Barthelme observed. He studied at the University of Houston, and then wrote articles on culture and art for the Houston Post. He was, briefly, Director of Contemporary Art Museum in Houston, writing what he called "hack" pieces on the side. In 1962, he moved to New York City to take up writing full time and began publishing stories in The New Yorker. He was married twice and divorced twice, and had one daughter. The problems of married life and fatherhood permeate his stories. Barthelme authored fourteen books, including novels, essays and the short story collections, Forty Stories [1987], Overnight to Many Distant Cities [1983], Sixty Stories [1982], City Life [1970], Unspeakable Practices, Unnatural Acts [1968], and Come Back, Dr. Caligari [1964]. His awards included a Guggenheim fellowship, the National Institute of Arts and Letters Award and the National Book Award. He was also a member of the National Institutes of Arts and Letters and a professor of English and a member of the Creative Writing faculty at the University of Houston. Donald Barthelme died in July 1989.

Brian Kiteley Some Questions about Donald Barthelme (return to my home page Sandrine Dechaume: I take it one of the important goals, as far as creative writing workshops go, is to get students to read. Donald Barthelme once said that selecting fathers is part of the process of becoming a writer, of being born as a writer. In your triple capacity as former student of Barthelme, teacher, and writer, do you find that is the case? Brian Kiteley: Donald Barthelme seemed more interested in making us read philosophy, art history, historiography, and scientific theory than “selecting fathers,” if that means other writers. He rarely recommended anyone specifically to us. We knew that his fellow postmodernists (though we didn’t use that word in 1983) were worth reading. But he most clearly wanted his writing students to be philosophically well-educated. As the son of an analytic philosopher, this scared me. I’d avoided reading philosophy (and taking any philosophy courses as an undergraduate), but Donald was directly responsible for engaging me in that area of reading. I tell my students to read as much as they can.

Why now? Because this issue has an excellent section devoted to none other than Donald Barthelme Donald Barthelme , for those that aren't aware, was considered one of the greatest writers of the second half of the 20 th century. He's primarily known for the anthologies 60 Stories and 40 Stories , both of which have some of the funniest and most bizarre stories I've ever read. Reading Barthelme , who before his death was frequently found in the New Yorker and other major magazines, is a reminder of a time when the word "experimental literature" didn't make every non-graduate student want to flee the room. With a casual style that belied the weightiness of his subject matter and themes, Barthelme was able to draw in the sort of readers that would be just fine avoiding for the rest of their lives any fiction that could be referred to as "challenging." Additionally, there's a great page

It illustrates Donald's inner struggles and eventual understanding of what his place is in society. From the Paper "His father and his uncle, taking into their hands the matter of setting the young boys priorities and ideas straight, do their best to show him that his reactions in themselves are proof to the unfailing dominance that the white had over him. Finally, with the assistance of his own common sense, they succeed in explaining to him and bringing forth an appreciation of the values that are inherent to his actual Chinese lifestyle and cultural norms."

By Gus Negative Q: Is the novel dead? A: Oh yes. Very much so. Q: What replaces it? A: I should think that it is replaced by what existed before it was invented. Q: The same thing? A: The same sort of thing. Q: Is the bicycle dead? From "The Explanation" "Writing is a process of dealing with not-knowing, a forcing of what and how.... The not-knowing is crucial to art, is what permits art to be made. Without the scanning process engendered by not-knowing, without the possibility of having the mind move in unanticipated directions, there would be no invention.... The not-knowing is not simple, because it's hedged about with prohibitions, roads that may not be taken. The more serious the artist, the more problems he takes into account and the more considerations limit his possible initiatives." From the essay "Not-Knowing" Introduction "Play is one of the great possibilities of art; it is also ... the Eros-principle whose repression means total calamity. The humorless practitioners of le noveau roman produce such calamities regularly, as do our native worshippers of the sovereign Fact. It is the result of a lack of seriousness."

Donald Barthelme (1931-1989) Contributing Editors: Linda Wagner-Martin and Charles Molesworth Classroom Issues and Strategies The brevity and irony of Barthelme's work are sometimes surprising to students. Again, the high modernist qualityevery word crafted for its purpose, but caught in a web of style and form that makes the whole seem artlessly naturalmust be explained. Students may have read less contemporary fiction than modern and what contemporary fiction they have read may well be limited to the genres of romance, science fiction, and mystery. As with any period of art, the determining craft and language practices need explication. In the case of such a short selection, ask students to write about the work at the beginning of the classand again at the end, once discussion has finishedsomething simple like "What were your reactions to this work?" Then ask them to compare their two answers with the hope of showing them that reading must be an active process, that they must form opinions. And in this author's case, getting his readers to respond is his first priority. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues

OCTOBER 2003 by Kevin Moffett CLICK TO ENLARGE: SYLLABUS P. 1 SYLLABUS P. 2 SYLLABUS P. 3 When the garage door opened, I watched the all-nighters sprint into the warehouse, toward the wall-to-wall shelves and the sixty or so tables of books, the odor of dampness and dust. Some books were arranged by subject, others democratically, Dead Souls rubbing sleeves with Pregnancy for Dummies . By the time I made it inside, those ahead of me had already secured their spots: little kids rummaging through the picture books in the far corner, a guy in winter fatigues looking through the vintage Penthouse s, a graduate student with an Ask Me About Postmodernism pin on his army-surplus backpack solemnly problematizing the literary criticism section. Ariel The first book I found was a pocketbook version of A Homemade World by Hugh Kenner (number 39 on the list), a scuffed copy full of wobbly underlining.

click on this, if you wouldn't mind Donald Barthelme - Writer Selections From Donald Barthelme’s 60 Stories (Sixty Stories) Cortes and Montezuma with official soundtrack and exclusive photos Excerpts From ‘Me and Miss Mandible’ complete version Miss Mandible wants to make love to me but she hesitates because I am officially a child, I am according to the records, according to the gradebook on her desk, according to the card index in the principal’s office, eleven years old. There is a misconception here, one that I haven’t quite managed to get cleared up yet. I am in fact thirty-five, I’ve been in the Army, I am six feet one, I have hair in the appropriate places, my voice is a baritone, I know very well what to do with Miss Mandible if she ever makes up her mind. In the meantime we are studying common fractions. I could, of course, answer all the questions, or at least most of them (there are things I don’t remember). But I prefer to sit in this too-small seat with the desktop cramping my thighs and examine the life around me. There are thirty-two in the class, which is launched every morning with the pledge of allegiance to the flag. My own allegiance, at the moment, is divided between Miss Mandible and Sue Ann Brownly, who sits across the aisle from me all day long and is, like Miss Mandible, a fool for love. Of the two I prefer today Sue Ann; although between eleven and eleven and a half (she refuses to reveal her exact age) she is clearly a woman, with a woman’s disguised aggression and a woman’s peculiar contradictions.
