Lost In The Funhouse by John Barth

Fiction for Print, Tape, Live Voice

The book is a collection of metafictional short stories that explore themes of identity, narrative structure, and the nature of storytelling. Through a series of interconnected tales, it delves into the experiences of characters who often find themselves grappling with the complexities and absurdities of life. The stories are marked by their self-referential style, blending traditional narrative with experimental techniques to challenge the reader's perceptions of fiction and reality.
