Description: Dunkirk has fallen, the Americans have not yet entered the war, and King Arthur and his Knights of the Table Round are hip-deep in the fighting. And Churchill and the new chaps think they are running things. A retelling of Le Morte d'Arthur as only Donald Barthelme could dream it up--sublime comedy and dark romance. Illustrated.
Brief description: Donald Barthelme was one of the most influential American novelists of the 1970s and 1980s, bringing a unique postmodern voice to his novels, short stories and essays. He died in 1989.
