Synopsis
Barthelme’s last book, published posthumously, is a novel composed in dialogue in which King Arthur finds himself battling against the Nazis in World War II. Arthur simultaneously prepares his son Mordred for the duties of ruling the kingdom. Ultimately Arthur and Guinevere, having exhausted mythmaking as their only weapon, retreat into domestic sanctuary.
