When, 20 years ago, Donald Barthelme died at the early age of 58, there seemed to be a solid foundation for enduring literary acclamation.
On writers who have influenced how I think about life: Dostoevsky, Kafka, Celine (really only Journey to the End of Night and Death on the Installment Plan), Hamsun (only Hunger), Kierkegaard, Emily Dickinson, Donald Barthelme, Borges, recently Bolano (three big Bs in a row), Nietzsche, Fitzgerald (especially Tender Is the Night), Camus, Doris Lessing.
His first book, Motorman, from 1972, could be situated within the vein of Barthelme et al.
