Barthelme was at the forefront of literary Greenwich Village, developing lasting friendships with Thomas Pynchon, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Wolfe, Grace Paley, and Norman Mailer. Married four times, he had a volatile private life. The recipient of many prestigious literary awards, he is best remembered for the classic novels "Snow White", "The Dead Father", and many short story collections, all of which remain in print today. Barthelme died of cancer in 1989. This is the first biography of Donald Barthelme, and it is nothing short of a masterpiece.
