John Barth, who, believing that the old literary conventions were exhausted, extended the limits of storytelling with imaginative and intricately woven novels like “The Sot-Weed Factor” and “Giles Goat-Boy,” died on Tuesday. His death was confirmed by Rachel Wallach, who works in communications at Johns Hopkins University, where Mr. Barth was an emeritus professor of English and creative writing. She said she did not have further details. Mr. Barth was 30 when he published his sprawling third novel, the boisterous “The Sot-Weed Factor” (1960). It projected him into the ranks of the country’s most innovative writers, drawing comparisons to contemporaries like Thomas Pynchon, Jorge Luis Borges and Vladimir Nabokov.

Henry Kissinger died on Wednesday, aged 100. He outlived a New York Times journalist who helped with his obituary — the writer died in 2010. He lasted so long that he outlived one of The New York Times writers who contributed to his obituary. The Times described Kaufman in the byline as "a former correspondent and editor for The Times who died in 2010" — 13 years before Kissinger. David Kissinger wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post in May that his "father's longevity is especially miraculous when one considers the health regimen he has followed throughout his adult life."
