SUMMARY

"Although COMING SOON!!! didn't make it in time for Y2K, Barth has tried hard to capture the moment by imitating the devices of Internet fiction, offering point-and-click buttons and hotlinked words. But this feels like a fruitless gimmick, since otherwise the pagebound story proceeds in a pretty straightforward way....His hyperintellectual regard for his earlier books seems fetishistic, and what lax attention he directs to the real world is warped by this literary narcissism."Barth, John is the author of 'Coming Soon A Narrative' with ISBN 9780618131655 and ISBN 0618131655.
