"In the latest Granta Podcast, John Barth – one of the pioneers of
American literature – reads his essay ‘The End?’, from the current
issue of the magazine, Exit Strategies, at a live event held at
Books&Books in Miami on February 7. He also discusses discovering
William Faulkner and Lawrence Sterne as a student, the parallels
between writing and arranging music, what happened to postmodernism
and waiting for the muse to call."

Not to be confused w/ Penn State, where he taught from 1953-1965.

The only substantive review I've seen of Every Third Thought:

http://lareviewofbooks.org/article.php?type=&id=657&fulltext=1&media=

How about *this* little aside?:

"I am biased. I've spent an inordinate amount of time with John
Barth's writing over the past two years, having been hired to adapt
The Sot-Weed Factor — Barth's labyrinthine historical parody set in
18th century Colonial Maryland — into a full length filmic
extravagance, consisting of eleven one-hour episodes and one feature
length finale."

Aram Avakian — a highly respected editor who occasionally directed — collaborated on the screenplay with his longtime friend Terry Southern, who was at the time a very hot screenwriter (“Dr. Strangelove,” “The Cincinnati Kid,” “Candy,” “The Loved One”). The cast included Stacy Keach, James Earl Jones, Harris Yulin, M. Emmet Walsh and Graham Jarvis — none of whom had been in more than one or two prior films. Just as significantly, it was the first cinematographer credit for Gordon Willis (“Manhattan,” “The Godfather”).

 

"Z-rated by the muses," but:

Good morning All
It seems to me that the "inquiry" in TFO is perhaps related to Prousts "In
search of lost time"? Not that I've read ISOLT, but only know if it from various
others, especially Alain de Botton.
Does the proposition cause anu resonance with you?
