...order pre-made films on almost any topic. In theory, a family equipped with EVR will become a self-contained educational center: Junior will study the sex life of grasshoppers (the subject Goldmark drolly demonstrated last week), Father will settle back for an evening of golf lessons or an audio-visual version of LIFE and Mother will sharpen her French through an EVR correspondence course.

Barth says he originally planned to insert audio tapes in a number of hollowed-out pages, but dropped the idea as too gimmicky. There was no mention of providing each reader with a visible but silent author. Thanks mainly to Barth's enormous vitality and virtuosity, however, most of the pieces do quite well in print.
