In contrast to recent attempts to distinguish postmodernism from poststructuralism, Death in the FUNhouse finds deep complicity between the two discourses. This book looks comprehensively at the middle and late texts of John Barth to demonstrate the complexity of the postmodern author - and the never-ending quest for pleasure.
