Wikipedia, 20 June 2015 (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's New Yorker publication, "L'Lapse", a parody of Michelangelo Antonioni's film ''Eclisse [The Eclipse], followed in 1963. The magazine would go on to publish much of Barthelme's early output, including such now famous stories as "Me and Miss Mandible", the tale of a 35-year-old sent to elementary school.)
