Further Fridays

Recently read: Further Fridays: Essays, Lectures, & Other Nonfiction, 1984-1994 by John Barth.

This is another excellent collection of Barth’s work, this time from 1984-1994. A lot of my favorite authors, including Borges, Poe, and others, are discussed. I knew Barth had some interest in electronic literature, but it was still a nice surprise to see some thoughts on theorists like George Landow and a long discourse on N. Katherine Hayles’ writing about chaos theory.

In the coming weeks I will have plenty more to say about specific essays.
