Barth, John Letters New York G. P. Putnam's Sons 1979 399-12425-X First Edition Hard Cover Fine Very Good Fine copy in very good Brodarted dust jacket. First printing of the first trade edition in a fine Brodarted dust jacket. The dust jacket puzzles us. It has a 1/2" closed tear to the head of the spine, and is rubbed slightly at corners and edges, all normal wear for a large book of this age. But, there are score marks that originated from the inside of the dust jacket! There are four of these, one on each major DJ surface, very light at bottom, becoming more pronounced as the score line proceeds to the top. We believe that this was a production problem, but you need to know of these defects. The book is unread. It has gray paper boards with wide, black cloth binding, silver lettering on spine, 772 pp. There is some faint binding glue shadow on the back board, the top and bottom edges are sunned a little. Once this copy left the factory, it was carefully handled.

3. Scriptorium - John Barth
Barth, John (Simmons) (1930) American novelist and short-story writer. Born in Cambridge on the eastern shore of Maryland, the grandson of nineteenth-century German immigrants.
http://www.themodernword.com/scriptorium/barth.html
By Blair Mahoney Lost in the Barthhouse For whom is the fiction of John Barth fun? Perhaps for lovers of complex metafictions. For people constrained by nineteenth century notions of realist literature it is a place of fear and confusion . Typographical play, such as the use of, and explanation of the function of, italics is a feature of John Barth's story "Lost in the Funhouse," which appears in the volume Lost in the Funhouse. In that story Barth observes that italic type is "the customary type for titles of complete works, not to mention."
John Barth is "at that awkward age." He was born May 27, 1930 on B_ Street in D_ County, Maryland. Once again, Barth has something to say about the substitution of initials for proper names in nineteenth century fiction in order to heighten the sense of reality: "It is as if the author felt it necessary to delete the names for reasons of tact or legal liability. Interestingly, as with other aspects of realism, it is an illusion that is being enhanced, by purely artificial means." Barth's great skill (or one of many great skills he possesses) is to lay bare these illusions which underlie fictional narratives, pulling back the curtain to reveal not an omnipotent creator/omniscient narrator, but an aging Professor Emeritus in the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University. When you open up one of John Barth's books you know you're not in Kansas anymore (if you take "Kansas" to metaphorically stand for the world of "conventional" realist literature, rather than literally referring to the state in the central US pop. (est. 1990) 2,477,570; capital, Topeka; acquired as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and became the 34th state of the US in 1861 which wouldn't make a lot of sense, especially if, like myself, you've never even been to Kansas).

CULTURE
Virtuality By John Barth '51, MA '52
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.

SUMMARY From one of our most celebrated masters, a touching, comic, deeply humane collection of linked stories about surprising developments in a gated community
"I find myself inclined to set down for whomever, before my memory goes kaput altogether, some account of our little community, in particular of what Margie and I consider to have been its most interesting hour: the summer of the Peeping Tom." Something has disturbed the comfortably retired denizens of a pristine Florida-style gated community in Chesapeake Bay country. In the dawn of the new millennium and the evening of their lives, these empty nesters discover that their tidy enclave can be as colorful, shocking, and surreal as any of John Barth's fictional locales. From the high jinks of a toga party to marital infidelities, a baffling suicide pact, and the sudden, apocalyptic destruction of the short-lived development, Barth brings mordant humor and compassion to the lives of characters we all know well. From "one of the most prodigally gifted comic novelists writing in English today" (Newsweek), The Development is John Barth at his most accessible and sympathetic best.

Classroom Issues and Strategies
To call an author "a writers' writer" is often the kiss of death. Yet Barth in "Lost in the Funhouse" and in other works goes out of his way to draw to himself this label that sets him apart from more popular "men's writers" (or "businessmen's writers") like Ernest Hemingway or "women's writers" like Willa Cather . By foregrounding the writerly nature of his work, Barth, perhaps more than any American author before him, prevents his readers from ignoring the style and form of his work while they pursue the content. Rather than focus on the relatively accessible content about Ambrose, Peter, Magda, and the three adults, as a teacher I want students to speculate about Barth's reasons for so intrusively and self-consciously focusing on the writing process.
Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues
At least three large explanations for the self-consciousness of Barth's works come to mind. In Chimera he will have the Genie report that in the U.S. in our time "the only readers of artful fiction [are] critics, other writers, and unwilling students who, left to themselves, [prefer] music and pictures to words." In short, a serious writer has to recognize that his only willing readers are other writers; that he or she is, in fact, a writers' writer.
