Title
Selection from Phillip Lopate's Manuscript "The Dead Father: Remembrances of Donald Barthelme"
Description
Lopate describes Donald and Marion Barthelme, Cynthia Macdonald, and himself at the home of the Barthelmes’ following the first fundraising ball for the creative writing program. They are feeling letdown after the ball, but “instead of sitting around comparing notes post-mortem, we—began singing songs. Cynthia had a trained operatic voice, and Donald a lovely baritone and a great memory for lyrics: Cole Porter, musical comedy, jazz ballads. It turned into a wonderfully pleasurable evening.”
