BARTH, JOHN. CHIMERA.
New York: Random House, 1972. First edition Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dj
Barth's transformation of everyday reality into myth and vice versa. Three tales: one of Dunyazade, sister of Scheherazade; "At this point in interrupted my sister as usual to say 'Yu have a way with words, Scheherazade. This is the thousandth night I've sat at the foot of your bed while you and the King made love and you told him stories, and the one in progress holds me like a genie's gaze.'"...There is also one of Perseus, the demigod who slew Gorgon Medusa, and yet finds himself at forty "sea-leveled, parched, plucked, every grain in my molted sandals raising blisters, and beleaguered by the serpents of my past." And of Bellerophon, the hero who tames the winged horse Pegasus only to discover, "My life's a failure. I'm not a mythic hero. I never will be." A humorous, impertinent and exuberant exploration of the nature of the hero, the multitudinous relationships between men and women, and the mortal search for immortality, which is persuasively suggested, may lie not in deeds but in words. National Book Award, 1973. .
