Coming Soon!!!: A Narrative Paperback - 2002
by John Barth
In this novelistic romp that is by turns hilarious and brilliant, John Barth spoofs his own place in the pantheon of contemporary fiction and the generation of writers who have followed his literary trailblazing. Coming Soon!!! is the tale of two writers: an older, retiring novelist setting out to write his last work and a young, aspiring writer of hypertext intent on toppling his master. In the heat of their rivalry, the writers navigate, and sometimes stumble over, the cultural fault lines between print and electronic fiction, mentor and mentee, postmodernism and modernism.

First line
Okay, patient Readers of J. H. Johnson's foregoing PERSONAL STATEMENT and associated crapola: I did all that, back there between 1/4 and 4/1/(19)95-and it worked, sort of.
