AT a glance, this collection of material by Donald Barthelme -- who
died of cancer in 1989, at the age of 58 -- might be mistaken for a
bit of valedictory barrel-scraping. In fact, it's nothing of the
kind....

I don't think Donald Barthelme would have minded being called a
confusing writer. Confusion was a favorite subject for him in his
essays and reviews, and it's enacted in his fiction in a mishmash of
dizzying incongruities....
