Reviews
"He's audacious and writes like no one else--I love these stories." -- Ann Beattie "His textures are impeccable: rich, brightly colored, they seem to float on an underlying vacancy like mirages, leaving the reader dizzy and a little sunstruck. . .it's impossible to conceive of any writer doing what he does any better than he does it." -- Margaret Atwood "I admire Frederick Barthelme's peculiar grasp of the slant side of human relationships . . . superbly written and very funny." -- Raymond Carver "[Barthelme] is one of the most distinctive prose stylists since Hemingway, capable of writing sentences so sharp and crisp and suggestive they have a palpable glow." -- Bret Easton Ellis "Consumer passions didn't seem pasted on in these stories, but rather create a texture and a spooky land for modern fairy tales. . . . At first glance scenes appear to be surrealistic; then you carry on and realize that this is our urbanized, wised-up America." -- The New York Times Book Review
Synopsis
Frederick Barthelme's fiction portrays the immensity of feeling that saturates the uneventful details of ordinary life. From parking lots to grocery stores, and swimming pools to morning traffic, the inner landscape of Barthelme's characters is one of underlying tension arising from the seemingly mundane. Meaning breaks down and is doubled, and becomes a representation of the small in-between spaces--lyrical, mysterious, ordinary--within the routines of daily life. Starting out his career as a musician in a psychedelic noise band, and later as a conceptual artist, Barthelme's breakthrough short fiction soon became a staple of the New Yorker --expanding to eleven novels, short story collections, screenplays, and a memoir. The Great Pyramids includes early classics such as "Cut Glass," "Aluminum House," and "Shopgirls," as well as later works such as "Retreat" and "Socorro" and previously unpublished stories. The overall sense of angst and isolation in Barthelme's work--and the urgent need to connect with family, friends, lovers, and strangers--has become even more relevant to our time. This career-spanning collection reflects Barthelme's compassionate, wry, beguilingly deep observations of cultural estrangement and floating dread--and his sardonic, sometimes absurdist, commonplace-bleak, yet compassionate understanding of how we relate to one another in a world that subverts relationships yet dares us to try. As Bret Easton Ellis conveys in his foreword, Barthelme showed us a new way to look at the world, and helped redefine the short story: a "signal" heard by writers--and readers--of younger generations., Frederick Barthelme is a minimalist writer whose stories are anything but minimal. Labeled as "Dirty" or "Kmart" Realism, his work illustrates the immense feeling contained within the minute and seemingly uneventful details of ordinary life. From parking lots to grocery stores, and swimming pools to morning traffic, whatever space Barthelme's characters occupy there is an underlying tension that rises out from the mundane. In his post-ironic dialog and deadpan descriptions, meaning breaks down and is doubled, and becomes a representation of the small in-between spaces within our routine and daily lives. Starting out his career as a musician in a psychedelic noise band, and later as a conceptual artist, Barthelme's tendency for the unconventional carried over in his writing. He became a trailblazer with his work regularly appearing in the New Yorker and went on to have an expansive career that includes eleven novels, several short story collections, screenplays, and a memoir. In The Great Pyramids , Barthelme is recognized from his early works such as "Cut Glass," "Aluminum House," and "Shopgirls," through the tail end of the twentieth century with "Retreat," and "Socorro," and now, with new and previously unpublished stories. The cultural landscape is always changing, but the overall sense of angst and isolation that Barthelme's work encompasses has only intensified. This collection shows that Barthelme's eye for cultural estrangement, the funny yet bleak understanding of how we relate to one another, is now more relevant than ever.
