Do any of you guys know Donald Barthelme?

I do like the story King of Jazz --> http://www.jessamyn.com/barth/kingofjazz.html

I was big on him in college, read several of his short story collections. I thought he was great, and I'm sure he influenced my early fiction, but at some point I lost track of him. I was just recently thinking I'd like to reread him.

I have his "Sixty Stoties." I like him, but he's definitely a 'stylist.' for better or worse. Pomo mofo, yo.

I know "Indian Uprising" pretty well since I've taught it several times. That is a pretty odd one. But then "odd" is probably an odd word to describe most Post-post-post-modern-deconstructive-post-structural etc....fiction, "fiction"...
