25. GAME: By Donald Barthelme A short story by donald barthelme. http://www.latexnet.org/~burnt/Game.html

Game By Donald Barthelme It is unfair but there is nothing I can do about it. I am aching to get my hands on them. Shotwell and I watch the console. Shotwell and I live under the ground and watch the console. If certain events take place upon the console, we are to insert our keys in the appropriate locks and turn our keys. Shotwell has a key and I have a key. If we turn our keys simultaneously the bird flies, certain switches are activated and the bird flies. But the bird never flies. In one hundred thirty-three days the bird has not flown. Meanwhile Shotwell and I watch each other. We each wear a .45 and if Shotwell behaves strangely I am supposed to shoot him. If I behave strangely Shotwell is supposed to shoot me. We watch the console and think about shooting each other and think about the bird. Shotwell's behavior with the jacks is strange. Is it strange? I do not know. Perhaps he is merely a selfish bastard, perhaps his character is flawed, perhaps his childhood was twisted. I do not know. Shotwell plays jacks and I write descriptions of natural forms on the walls. Shotwell is enrolled in a USAFI course which leads to a master's degree in business administration from the University of Wisconsin (although we are not in Wisconsin, we are in Utah, Montana or Idaho). When we went down it was in either Utah, Montana or Idaho, I don't remember. We have been here for one hundred thirty-three days owing to an oversight. The pale green reinforced concrete walls sweat and the air conditioning zips on and off erratically and Shotwell reads

Web Links WHO WE ARE About Us Contact Us AFJ;KLAFD AFJL;KFDA Donald Barthelme The Genesis of a Cool Sound by Helen Moore Barthelme Chronicling a literary life that ended not so long ago, this enlightening book begins with a detailed biographical sketch of Barthelme's life and spans his growth into one of the most original and imaginative American writers of the twentieth century. Donald Barthleme was born in Philadelphia but raised in Houston. Educated at the University of Houston, he became a fine arts critic for the Houston Post, later becoming editor of Forum literary magazine. He was also director of the Contemporary Arts Museum while writing and publishing his first stories. In the 1960s he moved to New York, where he became editor of Location and was able to practice the art of short fiction in such vehicles as the New Yorker and Harper's Bazaar. In a witty, playful, ironic, and bizarrely imaginative style, he wrote more than one hundred short stories and several novels over the years. In this literary memoir, Donald Barthelme's former wife, Helen Moore Barthelme, offers insights into his career as well as his private life, focusing especially on the decade they were married, from the mid-fifties to the mid-sixties - a period during which he developed the forms and genres that made him famous. In open, straightforward language she tells about their love for each other and about the events that finally divided them.

Grund The criticism of Barthelme's fiction-making is a lot like the fiction itselfuncomfortable, dislocated, and contentious. Over the last decade, though critical response has been strongly positive, the number of evaluations of Barthelme's work has markedly decreased, especially in contrast to the previous decade. Part of the problem has been, presumably, not just the waning of interest but that criticism of his work has never been additive or incremental. For example, some earlier writers pointed to the importance of collage or "assemblage" in Barthelme's art, but subsequent studies rarely drew conclusions from this premise. Rather, what followed a spate of articles and books exfoliated, almost wildly, in a variety of directions and modes, the critical enterprise enacting the literary act.

Donald Barthelme - '60 Stories' Justin Donald Barthelme is not afraid to be stupid. If you're expecting to open this book, read it from start to finish, and for there to be recognizeable characters and epiphanies and 'human dilemmas' and other sorts of things you've come to expect from 'literary fiction', then you're going in with the wrong mindset. No, serious. It's not just nonlinearity. Sometimes Barthelme's writing is retarded. You can see it trying to be funny and failing, or just plain showing off, dropping names. But then, just as you're about to put the book aside, Barthelme will toss off some random, memorable line or image. Let me give you an example, from the story "The Party" :

Philadelphia. In his short stories and novels, Barthelme describes a world so unreal that traditional modes of fiction can no longer encompass it. His stories employ advertising jargon, counterfeit footnotes, recondite allusions, and various typographical and narrative extravagances to fit his own private vision of an absurd reality. Barthelme's works include the novels Snow White (1967) and The Dead Father (1985); the short-story collections

Review Of Donald Barthelme’s 60 Stories To start this essay and review I need to tell you what Donald Barthelme was- a fantasist; and a really bad one, at that. I will explain this in the bulk of this piece. But first, I need to briefly tell you the many things he was not, despite the many claims to the contrary by disciples, sycophants, and bad critics. He was not an absurdist. To be an absurdist writer one must actually be contrasting the language and situations presented within your work with norms presented outside the work. In short, there must be reference points within the work, as well as the work actually having a meaning outside its own presented cosmos. He was not a metafictionist. To be a metafictionist the writer must be using the artifice of art within the work itself for the purpose of exploring the boundaries of art, not merely as a self-reflexive piece of vanity. He was not a post-structuralist. To be post-structural a writer must deny objectivity and embrace an ambigual fog. Self-reflexivity posits the self as objectively real. Vanity negates ambiguity. He was not a postmodernist. To be a postmodernist one or all three of the above conditions must be met. Since Barthelme’s work was hermetic, self-reflexive, and therefore non-subjective- albeit not empirically objective, he was not postmodern.

Donald Barthelme: Snow White DEAR MR. QUISTGAARD: , can be penetrated. New things can rush into your plenum displacing old things, things that were formerly there. No man's plenum, Mr. Quistgaard, is impervious to the awl of God's will. Consider then your situation now . You are sitting there in your house on Neat Street, with your fine dog, doubtless, and your handsome wife and tall brown sons, conceivably, and who knows with your gun-colored Plymouth Fury in the driveway, and opinions passing back and forth, about whether the Grange should build a new meeting hall or not, whether the children should become Tomists or not, whether the pump needs more cup grease or not. A confortable American scene. But I, Jane Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, am in possession of your telephone number, Mr. Quistgaard . Think what that means. In means that at any moment I can pierce your plenum with a single telephone call, simply by dialing 989-7777. You are correct, Mr. Quistgaard, in seeing this as a threatening situation. The moment I inject discourse from my u. of d. into your u. of d., the yourness of yours is diluted. The more I inject, the more you dilute. Soon you will be presiding over an empty plenum, or rather, since that is a contradiction in terms, over a former plenum, in terms of yourness. You are, essentially, in my power. I suggest an unlisted number. Yours faithfully
