Donald Barthelme's 81 Books Essential for a Literary Education - Page 2

The list has a somewhat illustrious heritage. Compiled by postmodernist writer Donald Barthelme for his students at the University of Houston, it then made its way to Barthelme's student, Southern writer Padgett Powell. The list then came to Moffett when he was a student of Powell's at the University of Florida.
