mississippi review, frederick barthelme
the new issue of mississippi review is a fiction issue, i have a story in it
i used to go to this page and print stories and read them in my room
the mississippi review is edited by frederick barthelme
i've read most of his books, i like them, here is some information about some of them
in the 80's he was published in the new yorker a lot, that was when the writers (frederick barthelme, mary robison, joy williams, ann beattie, bobbie ann mason, raymond carver) i like to read today blurbed each other and wrote books and got talked about as 'minimalists' or 'kmart-realists' (the wikipedia entry for 'kmart-realism' is really wrong) and were in 'best american short stories' every year because they (or people who liked these people like richard ford and anne tyler) edited it every year
writers i like to read who to me are like those writers, in some way, but younger, are now getting published in mississippi review, noon, sometimes mcsweeney's, i think
people older than those people who i like to read who to me are like those writers, in some way, are ernest hemingway, jean rhys, some of richard yates, to some extent chekhov maybe
people who are my age who to me are like those writers, in some way, but my age, are people i link to on this site, people who get published on bear parade, and maybe some other people i haven't linked to for whatever reason like if they don't have a blog
mostly that these people use concrete language, are funny, readable, capable of sarcasm, don't describe much, don't think in terms of preconceptions, don't use many terms, have a lot of dialogue, and write about things that seemed to me to have happened to them in real life and caused them to feel strong emotions
there are other writers that i like also but they didn't get grouped into 'minimalism' or 'kmart realism' or they write poetry mostly so in my head they are somewhere else
there are also some writers that were sort of grouped into those groups that i like but are still elsewhere in my head for whatever reason
i like this story by frederick barthelme
i like this story by curtis sittenfeld on the mississippi review site
most of the time when i am reading i am rereading something
i enjoyed typing this post, thank you for reading it

i've read most of his books, i like them, here is some information about some of them
tracer starts with a person on the plane, at the end he is on a plane again, the characters' thoughts are mostly not revealed, i thinkthere are some other books including a non-fiction one about how he and his brother got obsessed with gambling, mary robison is in it, he goes to jail at one point i think
two against one has a person's wife who wants to live with both the person and another man, two men for one woman, and they talk about it and see what they can do about this, and the main character's thoughts are written about a lot
natural selection has a person complaining a lot about modern society, i liked it, it is different so far than the other two books i described
bob the gambler is about a couple who gets obsessed with gambling and they lose a lot of money, then the man goes to work at a convenience store though he is in his 40's, and it has a calm third-half, it is also different than the books i've described
elroy nights is about a man in his 50's or 60's, i forget, who teaches at a college and leaves his wife to live alone for a while, he does things on a computer late at night and stays up until morning, doing things on the internet, this book is also different than any of the ones i just described
in the 80's he was published in the new yorker a lot, that was when the writers (frederick barthelme, mary robison, joy williams, ann beattie, bobbie ann mason, raymond carver) i like to read today blurbed each other and wrote books and got talked about as 'minimalists' or 'kmart-realists' (the wikipedia entry for 'kmart-realism' is really wrong) and were in 'best american short stories' every year because they (or people who liked these people like richard ford and anne tyler) edited it every year

Cool on the New Fiction Issue of MR -- while you fall under that category, I find it curious how TC Boyle, Rick Moody, and Anne Beattie are considered writers of "new" fiction when they are really the old fiction.
It's like this recent anthology out called "Pist-Cyberpunk" that has some nw authors of the genre but still contains Gibson, Sterling, et al., or any of the Fiction Collective old hat writers who try to fit in as "new" -- no on wants to be called a writer of yesterday's craze.
i think they meant fiction that was new, not people that are new
I was wondering why you dropped Frederick Barthelme in that essay, but now I see how he was on your mind.
Frederick Barthelme advised me once to obtain Federal Aid to study with him and I did not, but there is no bad blood of which I am aware.
Good work
