I'm assuming you've read The Sound and the Fury.

Chimera by Barth more or less is three short(ish) stories, but they work together to form a larger beast, you know, like the name implies

Instead of replying to frogposters, report them.

Also, Street of Crocodiles by my main man Bruno

I quite liked The Nick Adams Stories

I haven't read it but have heard Naked Lunch is quite like this.

Cloud Atlas

More like loosely-connected impressions rather than short stories. A great read though. If you dig that be sure to check out Burroughs' Nova Trilogy.

How hard is this? I recall Michael Silverblatt talking about the structure being some sort of logical equation or something.

>>8432601
Not terribly difficult, the first story is pretty crazy, in terms of it's narrative structure, and it becomes unclear who is actually narrating the story at certain points but it is by no means a "difficult" novel. The second two stories are more straight forward (structurally).

If you've read any other Barth it is easier than Lost in the Funhouse and harder than The Floating Opera

That guy is hilariously pretentious. I like and hate him at the same time.

>>8432637
fuck, its**

>pretentious
I have exactly the opposite perception of him (from my admittedly limited listening). For one he's way too knowledgeable to be subject to accusations of pretension. Also to me he sounds very humble, in particular relative to his erudition and breadth of reading.

>>8432329
two of those aren't even novels

>>8432722
It could be that he is so much more well read and knowledge than me that it only seems like pretention to me.
It could be his jew voice that affects my perception.

winesburg, ohio
