Synopsis

Proving himself yet again a master of every form, Barth conquers in his latest the ruminative short essay-"​​jeux d'esprits," as Barth describes them. These mostly one-page tidbits pay homage to Barth's literary influences while retaining his trademark self-consciousness and willingness to play.
