Barth's writing was not a response to the realistic fiction that characterized American literature at the time; it beckoned back to the founders of the novel: Cervantes, Rabelais, and Sterne, echoing their playfulness and reflecting the freedom inherent in the writing of fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis collection of Barth's short fiction is a landmark event, bringing all of his previous collections together in one volume for the first time. Its occasion helps readers assess a remarkable lifetime's work and represents an important chapter in the history of American literature. Dalkey Archive will reissue a number of Barth's novels over the next few years, preserving his work for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Barth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628970952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628970951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2015 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/13\/2015 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/20\/2015 pg. 22","brand":"John Barth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995117519103,"sku":"9781628970951","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4745f348-3b68-4988-af3a-fec8eb25ea17.jpg?v=1683333957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collected-stories-john-barth-9781628970951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
