Death in the FUNhouse (Studies in Literary Criticism and Theory, Vol 2) [Paperback]

Alan Lindsay (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

In contrast to recent attempts to distinguish postmodernism from poststructuralism, Death in the FUNhouse finds deep complicity between the two discourses. This book looks comprehensively at the middle and late texts of John Barth to demonstrate the complexity of the postmodern author and the never-ending quest for pleasure.

This review is from: Death in the FUNhouse (Studies in Literary Criticism and Theory, Vol 2) (Paperback)

Not enough has been written about John Barth. This book pulls what has been said already together in an enlightening way. It helps if you know a little about literary theory. If not, you can just skip the first two chapters. The part about Lost in the Funhouse is especially enlightening.
