Johns Hopkins Alumni are invited to celebrate and honor the life and work of Johns Barth, A&S '51, '52 (MA), with John Barth's students, mentees, colleagues, admirers, and readers.
Best known for his postmodernist, unpredictable fiction and his exacting and generous teaching, Barth served on the Johns Hopkins faculty from 1973 until he retired in 1995. He is the author of 17 novels and collections of short fiction and three collections of essays. He won a National Book Award, F. Scott Fitzgerald Award for Outstanding Achievement in American Fiction, a Lannan Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award, and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in the Short Story."
Barth's archive and library are now housed at the Sheridan Libraries. The collection was the subject of the 2015 exhibition, Lost and Found in the Funhouse, presented at the George Peabody Library and online.
