10 reviews for Sixty Stories

  1. Kavesh Pandit

    Barthelme’s writing is innovative and engaging. Some stories are a little weird, while others are profound. It is not a book for everyone, but if you are experimental, you might like it.

  2. Vishal Gurnani

    Sixty Stories offers a glimpse into Barthelme’s unique mind. I enjoyed the absurdity and satire, but some stories felt too random. A worthwhile read for those seeking something different.

  3. Rudransh Verma

    Barthelme’s ‘Sixty Stories’ is certainly unique. Some stories were brilliant and thought-provoking, while others left me completely puzzled. A mixed bag, but worth exploring for experimental lit fans.

  4. Kratik Gupta

    A fascinating collection of short stories. Some stories are incredibly insightful and funny, and some felt unfinished. I had to reread some to grasp the meaning.

  5. Vishu Chauhan

    This collection is a wild ride! Some stories hit home with their dark humor, while others felt a bit too abstract for me. Overall, a stimulating, if uneven, experience.

  6. Arnab Das

    I loved the creativity and humor in many of these stories. However, the experimental nature made it difficult to fully appreciate every piece. A challenging but rewarding read.

  7. Ansul Gupta

    Some of the stories were great, some were not so great, but overall it was an interesting book to read. I would recommend it if you like abstract and weird stories.

  8. Mahima Singh

    Barthelme’s style is definitely not for everyone. I appreciated the experimentation and satire, but found myself struggling to connect with some of the more obscure stories.

  9. Ramanansri Ravishankar Aiyar

    I enjoyed the quirky, short stories. Barthelme’s writing is sharp and witty, although the lack of traditional narrative in some pieces felt a bit disjointed. Still, a good read.

  10. Abhay Kumar Rajak

    This book is a collection of strange little gems. Barthelme’s way with words is great, but the stories aren’t always very connected. Still, it made me think.
