The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291)
In her lecture on John Barth's collection of stories Lost in the Funhouse, Professor Amy Hungerford delves beyond the superficial pleasures and frustrations of Barth's oft-cited metafictional masterwork to illuminate the profound commitment to language that his narrative risks entail. Foremost among Barth's concerns, Hungerford argues, is the multi-faceted relationship between language and love. Desire can drive a narrative, or disrupt it. Language can create desire, or replace it. Unifying the virtuosic variety of his tales is Barth's inquiry: Does language always stand in for a loss of bodily presence? Must the written word always exist as the shadow of the oral?

John Barth
John Simmons Barth (/bɑːrθ/; born May 27, 1930) is an American writer, best known for his postmodernist and metafictional fiction.
Life
John Barth, called "Jack", was born in Cambridge, Maryland. Barth has an older brother, Bill, and a twin sister, Jill. He briefly studied "Elementary Theory and Advanced Orchestration" at Juilliard before attending Johns Hopkins University, from which he received a B.A. in 1951 and an M.A. in 1952 (for which he wrote a thesis novel, The Shirt of Nessus).
Barth was a professor at The Pennsylvania State University from 1953 to 1965, where he met his second and current wife, Shelly Rosenberg. During the "American high Sixties," he moved to teach at University at Buffalo, The State University of New York from 1965 to 1973. In that period he came to know "the remarkable short fiction" of the Argentine Jorge Luis Borges, which inspired his collection Lost in the Funhouse.
He then taught at Boston University (visiting professor, 1972–73) and Johns Hopkins University (1973–95) before retiring in 1995.

Famous quotes by John Barth:
"If you are a novelist of a certain type of temperament, then what you really want to do is re-invent the world. God wasn't too bad a novelist, except he was a Realist."
"Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story."
"This is an exciting time. A new chapter in our history."
"There's no question we can bring some expertise, ... I'm sure they have some as well. But we're recognized as the benchmark in the industry on the automotive side."
"Like an ox-cart driver in monsoon season or the skipper of a grounded ship, one must sometimes go forward by going back."
"The Bible is not man's word about God, but God's word about man."
"Nothing is intrinsically valuable; the value of everything is attributed to it, assigned to it from outside the thing itself, by people."
"It is often pleasant to stone a martyr, no matter how much we admire him"
"More history is made by secret handshakes than by battles, bills, and proclamations"
"My feeling about technique in art is that it has about the same value as technique in lovemaking. Heartfelt ineptitude has its appeal and so does heartless skill; but what you want is passionate virtuosity."
"More history is made by secret handshakes than by battles, bills and proclamations."
"You're certain to get a decision in a trial."
