Death of John Barth

Forwarded from alt.obituaries

John Barth, the playfully erudite author whose darkly comic and
complicated novels revolved around the art of literature and launched
countless debates over the art of fiction, has died aged 93. Johns
Hopkins University, where Barth was an emeritus professor of English
and creative writing, confirmed he died on Tuesday. No cause of death
was given.

The author of Giles Goat-Boy and The Sot-Weed Factor was part of a
wave of writers in the 1960s who challenged standards of language and
plot
