Descriere magazin:
From the acclaimed John Barth, one of the greatest novelists of our time (Washington Post Book World) and a master of language (Chicago Sun-Times), comes a lively triad of tales that delight in the many possibilities of language and its users. The first novella, Tell Me, explores a callow undergraduate\'s initiation into the mysteries of sex, death, and the Heroic Cycle. The second novella, I\'ve Been Told, traces no less than the history of storytelling and examines innocence and modernity, ignorance and self-consciousness. And the three elderly sisters of the third novella, As I Was Saying . . ., record an oral history of their youthful muse-like services to (and servicings of) a subsequently notorious and now mysteriously vanished novelist. Sexy, humorous, and brimming with Barth\'s deep intelligence and playful irreverence, Where Three Roads Meet will surely delight loyal fans and draw new ones. John Barth is the author of numerous works of fiction, including The Sot-Weed Factor, The Tidewater Tales, Lost in the Funhouse, The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor, the National Book Award winner Chimera, and most recently The Book of Ten Nights and a Night. He taught for many years in the writing program at Johns Hopkins University. Teller, tale, torrid . . . inspiration: Barth\'s seventeenth book brings these three narrative \'roads\' together inimitably, and thrice. [Where Three Roads Meet] employs all of his familiar devices -- alliteration, shifts in diction and time, puns -- to tease and titillate, while at the same time articulate -- obliquely, sadly, angrily, gloriously -- a farewell to language and its objects: us. -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
