RIP John Barth

[Michael Bailey]

Requiescat in pace, as Dave Monroe (requiescat in pace) used to say

Imho he was a genial and informative writer for whom the term
“underappreciated” seems appropriate.

He continued to evolve, and I already had his most recent one, _Every Third
Thought_ on my “to read” list, which now will be a little sad to read. (93
though, not too shabby)

I particularly liked his forays into talking about (thinly disguised, in
clever ways) his own upbringing.
