Synopsis
When Donald Barthelme died at the age of 54 he was perhaps the most imitated (if not emulated) practitioner of American literature. Caustic, slyly observant, transgressive and verbally scintillating, Bartherlme's essays, stories and novels redefined a generation of American letters and remain unparalleled for the way they capture the US pasttimes and obsessions, but nost of all for the way they capture the strangeness of life. Not-Knowing is a posthumous manifesto of one of the premier literary modernists.

The late Donald Barthelme was a longtime contributor to The New Yorker, winner of a National Book Award, a director of PEN and the Authors Guild, and a member of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. His sixteen books--including Snow White, The Dead Father, and City Life--substantially redefined American short fiction for our time.
