Painted Desert : A Novel Barthelme, Frederick
Viking 1995 New York 0670864692 / 9780670864690 First Edition First Printing Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 243 pages 243 pp. This road trip is the author's sixth novel and the sequel to The Brothers. Barthelme revisits Del and Jen, a wisecracking 1990s couple living in Biloxi, Mississippi. Del, divorced and pushing 50, is starting life over with Jen, a 27-year-old devotee of cyberpunk who carries a laptop computer and a portable television with her at all times. One day, while watching the O. J. Simpson murder trial, Jen decides they need to get in touch with real life. With Jen's father and his latest girlfriend in tow, they drive west to visit some of the key sites of recent history: Dealy Plaza, Florence, and Normandie, Bundy Drive. Along the way they encounter assassination buffs, UFO fanatics, and one dangerous psychopath who forces Jen to rethink her recent drift toward militancy. The episodic road trip format is perfectly suited to Barthelme's quirky humor and postmodern sensibility. This funny and sharply observant novel is one of his best books.
