Donald Barthelme (Critical Survey of Long Fiction)

Other Literary Forms

Donald Barthelme became known first as a short-story writer, perhaps because the third of his long works appeared only three years before his death, and the fourth was posthumous. For some commentators, as a result, Barthelme’s name is still primarily associated with short stories—the more so because even his long fiction tends to be composed of the same fragments as his short. Barthelme was also the author of a children’s book entitled The Slightly Irregular Fire Engine: Or, The Hithering Thithering Djinn (1971).
