  • What sort of accent is that? You should try having a glass of Chab'Lisss before reading in the future. Is you talking like dat for a reason? I'm sure that Don B. would forgive you. Me...I'm not so sure.

  • @ATINYVICTORY What can I say, don't forgive me, go ahead watching stuff you don't like and torture yourself, maso!

  • Well....whatever it takes to introduce a 'post-literate' culture to the mad pleasures of Donald Barthelme, who cut his teeth writing 'childrens books' and then gave exhausted, martini drunk adults a chance to marinate their own confusions in his dead pan, 'contemporary fables'. Kudos.

  • Ge, just about the most profound and thought provoking comment I've ever gotten!

    Thank you!

  • Please understand that I love Donald Barthelme and still consider him one of the most imaginative and ground breaking writers of the past....half centuty. Check out CITY LIFE and THE DEAD FATHER.

  • Thanks for the comment and the info, I will check it out!

see all

  • LMAO!

  • A note on the title: you don't pronounce the final "s" in a french word like "Chablis". It's pronounced "sha-BLEE", not "CHAB-lis." Look it up.

  • Oh dear. It's pronounced "shab-lee".

    If as seems the case you don't know how to pronounce his name either, please note:  "Bar-thel-me".

  • Thank you. Gushing over the Great Don always sounds sarcastic. Those people are no fun. They don't drink enough and scoff at loud laughs and were glasses like that, no offense. Do more.

  • Great read. I was going to say something about the pronunciation of the title, but I can see that's been sufficiently tended to.

    Barthelme's stories are great for this sort of feature -- brief, intense stories that don't run exhaustive lengths. Not that there is anything wrong with longer fiction, but I'd find it hard to enjoy unless I'm the one reading.

    Again, great read.
