### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    not as ends in themselves like so much dead-end
  

*by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2014*

Somehow I have missed this book, but it is a must-read if you are at all interested in the development of self-reference as a trope in postmodern fiction.  Barth's commitment in this volume to write narratives that are aware of their role as such makes this quite a read (and a blueprint for later pomo heavy-hitters such as DFW in that it is interested in using these devices as means to an end, not as ends in themselves like so much dead-end, pyrotechnic writing).  This book is an obligatory passage point.

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2013*

When you start reading this, you will be confused. Very confused. The first chapter is from the point of view of a (try reading it first, then google it). After that, the stories get immensely more readable and relatable. This is a fun little collection of loosely related short stories. and is certainly worth the read.
