"The Indian Uprising" by Donald Barthelme

I think Barthelme's writing is brilliant and true academic postmodernism. He did a great job, in my eyes, of producing a nameless narrator with a personal war describing the man's emotions perfectly. I would particularly like to focus on the plot of "A Streetcar Named Desire" and the character Blanche. Blanche obviously was fighting a personal war, yet it wasn't articulated like the man in "The Indian Uprising." Blanche would most likely use fantasy to show her personal war. She would have many suitors who are all fiction. She was often betrayed and I feel like she would re-encounter these men who have haunted her past. She would have conversations with these men, particularly, her ex husband, similar conversations to the nameless narrator. In the end, I feel like she would come to grips with herself and end up killing herself with all the commotion inside her head from her mysterious past.
