IMPORTANT BARTHELME UPDATE

Dammit, I want to point to this SOMEWHERE, even if doing so IS a little déclassé.  In my English translation of the Italian duck story "Donald and the Treasure of Saturnin Farandoul," I included a Barthelme reference.  The trouble is, it's almost certain that no one who's read it recognized it as such.  These translations of mine are generally downloaded by somewhere between fifty and a hundred people, and the odds of any given person in that cohort recognizing a reference to a Barthelme story, even, as Barthelme stories go, a pretty well-known one?  Low, I would say.  But at any rate, at one point the ducks find themselves in the South American country of "Paparaguay," and I wrote THIS:
