When John Barth's Lost in the Funhouse appeared in 1968, American fiction was turned on its head.

This collection of Barth's short fiction is a landmark event, bringing all of his previous collections together in one volume for the first time. Its occasion helps readers assess a remarkable lifetime's work and represents an important chapter in the history of American literature.
