Tracy Daugherty (who published the story, “Low Rider,” in The New Yorker in 1987), has just come out with Hiding Man, the first biography of long-time TNY contributor Donald Barthelme. Good reviews so far (here’s another), in particular for putting Barthelme’s work in context and establishing that his dense, allusive stories were anything but random.
