Talk:John Barth

Untitled

"The secret life of our times (1973) as a contributor to this work by Gordon Lish" would be more appropriate to an exhastive bibliography, rather than a mere list of his published novels and volumes of stories, and so I have removed it. (Incidentally, the piece there anothologized was 'Dunyazadiad' from Chimera.198.203.175.175 22:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

John Barth was an inspiration to me as a youth. I should re-read some of the books mentioned here. Peace, Ken Hausle. Charlotte, NC (Eastern) 3:26 pm, September 12, 2007.

Wasn't Barth also influential in helping found the field of psychology known as cosmopsis? Or is every gambler an optimist? Barth's writing is the industry of Bedlam, though we must accept the veracity of Todd's inquiry.

Death?

The basic info box on this page listed Barth as having died in 1997. I'm pretty sure that isn't true: he's published several books since then, for one thing. Anyway, I deleted that.Ellisjudd (talk) 17:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Copyright problem

This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement.
