End of the Road:

John Barth
American postmodernist novelist dies aged 93

Along with William #Gass, Stanley #Elkins and other peers, #Barth was part of a wave of writers in the 1960s who challenged standards of language and plot.

The author of 20 books including Giles Goat-Boy and The Sot-Weed Factor, Barth was a college writing instructor who advocated for #postmodernism to literature, saying old forms were used up and new approaches were needed.

Barth’s passion for literary theory and his innovative but complicated novels made him a writer’s writer.

Barth said he felt like Scheherazade in The Thousand and One Nights, desperately trying to survive by creating literature.

He created a bestseller in 1966 with 🔹Giles Goat-Boy,🔹 which turned a college campus into a microcosm of a world threatened by the cold war, and made a hero of a character who is part goat.

The following year, he wrote a postmodern manifesto, 🔸The Literature of Exhaustion, 🔸which argued that the traditional novel suffered from a “used-upness of certain forms.”

The influential essay described the postmodern writer as one who “confronts an intellectual dead end and employs it against itself to accomplish new human work”.
