   May 28, 2021 · When Ambrose is lost in the carnival funhouse, he develops this knowledge. Straying into an old, forgotten part of the funhouse, he becomes separated from the mainstream—the funhouse represents the world for lovers—and has fantasies of death and suicide, recalling the “negative resolve” of the sperm cell from “Night-Sea Journey.”

   Easily one of the best short-story collections I have ever read. Maybe even the best. This doesn't mean that all the stories in the book are equally entertaining, but it does mean that the best stories are so good they impart a terrific momentum to the collection as a whole, carrying it forward beyond all negative criticism, at least in my view.

8. People also ask

   Should I read lost in the Funhouse?

   • If you have the chance to read this story alone then I recommend it. Presumably it is the birth of the recurring character through some of the stories, Ambrose. The titular "Lost in the Funhouse" is decent enough, as is "Ambrose His Mark".

   Is lost in the Funhouse a postmodern book?

   • Lost in the Funhouse was my true gateway drug into the vein of postmodernism. Since reading this and many other of Barth's fiction, I've fallen completely for metafictive postmodernities and their like. This book is sort of loosely linked stories.

   Why is a funhouse a symbol for narrative?

   • The power of the funhouse as symbol for narrative is that it celebrates the playfulness and inventiveness of language while also acknowledging that everything is (just) representation, that storytelling is not a clear lens through which readers view reality, but one of many mirrors in which we see the play of a multitude of images.
