Lost in the Funhouse is a collection of loosely connected
short stories that was originally published by
John Barth in 1968. These
postmodern stories examine the art of
fiction writing, among other things, and seem to undermine the conventional and predictable nature of fiction. In the fourteen stories, Barth presents a literary "funhouse," a dense
maze that weaves in and out of
plot,
narration, and a self-conscious attention to the process of writing itself.
