FC2

FC2 mourns the loss of Cam Tatham, one of the most perceptive critics of postmodern fiction. Cam died on October 28 at his home north of Milwaukee after fighting brain cancer since 2007.

Cam published on John Barth as well as FC2 founders Ronald Sukenick and Raymond Federman. With Federman he conducted a lengthy correspondence that helped produce, in part, the novel, Take It or Leave It.
