Snow White

More Donald Barthelme to be listed soon…
First Edition.
This is the eagerly awaited novel by a writer who, since 1960, has been responsible for a series of stories so distinctive and original as to redefine the possibilities of the form.
Now, in his first novel, Mr. Barthelme presents a brilliant paraphrase of the familiar fairy tale. Snow White is living with seven men, but awaiting a Prince. The situation expands in fantastic ways, tracing the complex demands that men and women make upon each other and upon the world in the name of love and equanimity.
Snow White is a novel like no other. Funny, rough and sad in extraordinary measure, it is also as contrary, as easily distracted, as curious and troubled and comical as the floating stuff inside our crowded heads.
