John Barth
Coincidences begin to pile up on George in John Barth's novel, Every Third Thought (Counterpoint, $24.00)--a tornado on the 77th anniversary of the stock market crash, followed by his own physical tumble on his 77th birthday. Then, George experiences the first of what is to become five serial visions, each appearing to him on the first day of the ensuing seasons, and each corresponding to a pivotal event in that season of his life. Known for the postmodernist and metafictive quality of his work, Barth is the author of several novels, including The Sot-Weed Factor and End of the Road.
