This is a brief intro to this event. The full event can be found at podcast.lannan.org/2010/06/16/john-barth-reading-25-april-2001-video/ and podcast.lannan.org/2010/06/16/john-barth-with-michael-silverblatt-conversation-25-april-2001-video/

John Barth's novels include Once Upon a Time A Floating Opera; The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor; Tidewater Tales; Sabbatical A Romance; Giles Goat-Boy or, The Revised New Syllabus; and The Sot-Weed Factor. His two short story collections are On with the Story and Lost in the Funhouse.

Mr. Barth has written, "We tell stories and listen to them because we live stories and live in them. Narrative equals language equals life To cease to narrate...is to die." Mr. Barth, who is professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins University, received the Lannan Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998. Distributed by Tubemogul.
