Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST John Barth's lively, highly original collection of short pieces is a major landmark of experimental fiction exploring themes of purpose and the meaning of existence. '[Barth] ran riot over literary rules and conventions, even as he displayed, with meticulous discipline, mastery of and respect for them.' The New York TimesFrom its opening story, 'Frame-Tale'--printed sideways and designed to be cut out by the reader and twisted into a never-ending Mobius strip--to the much-anthologized 'Life-Story,' whose details are left to the reader to 'fill in the blank,' Barth's acclaimed collection challenges our ideas of what fiction can do. Highlights include the Homerian story-wthin-a-story-within-a-story (times seven) of 'Menalaiad,' and 'Night-Sea Journey,' afirst-person account of a confused humanspermon its way to fertilize an egg. All of the characters in Lost in the Funhouse aresearching, in one way or another, for their purpose and the meaning of their existence. Together, their stories form akaleidescope of exuberant metafictional inventiveness. 224 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9780385240871
