This article is about the author, Donald Barthelme Jr. For his father, the architect, see Donald Barthelme (architect).
Donald Barthelme (April 7, 1931 – July 23, 1989) was an American author known for his playful, postmodernist style of short fiction. Barthelme also worked as a newspaper reporter for the Houston Post, was managing editor of Location magazine, director of the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston (1961–1962), co-founder of Fiction (with Mark Mirsky and the assistance of Max and Marianne Frisch), and a professor at various universities. He also was one of the original founders of the University of Houston Creative Writing Program.
Barthelme was born on August 4, 1907 in Galveston, Texas. After studying at the Rice Institute in Houston for two years, in 1926 he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1930. That same year he married Helen Bechtold of Philadelphia. After graduation he worked as an architect in Philadelphia until late in 1932, when he returned to Texas.

Donald Barthelme Meets Library of America: RGBIB 245
We talk about one of those writers you may love, you may hate, but he deserves a try or two before you can get what he's about. (Much like us all.) And while we're at it, we talk about my arbitrary decisions about why to keep some LOA volumes, and why not to keep others. It's like wasting your time too long in the bathtub! Because that's what we do!
