Description
"In a dystopian future, an American couple flee their increasingly authoritarian country by transferring to a quantum computer housed in North Africa. The novel's structure mimics a constellation of firing neurons--a sparking collage of many tiny narraticules flickering through the brain of one of the refugees as it is digitized.

"From the freezing alleys of Chicago to the dew-blanketed bayou of Florida. From bouncing drunks and cleaning up puke to biking through the swamp laughing at peacocks. Freeze to thaw. Filth and broken glass and black water backed up in showers; lizards and Girl Scouts and themed birthday parties.

Following a biographical sketch of Barthelme and a chapter on his individual technique, Gordon proceeds chronologically in analyzing the themes, language and form of each of Barthelme's books. Although she is concerned with clarifying the linearity in Barthelme's work, Gordon also addresses such matters as point of view, meaning and method, Barthelme's highly individual use of language and his sense of humor.
