Frederick Barthelme is an American writer.
Barthelme co-founded the Red Crayola with Mayo Thompson in the summer of 1966 (see: Unfinished film). He served as the group's drummer until the following summer (see: The Red Crayola & John Fahey). In 1967, Barthelme moved to New York to pursue writing and conceptual art but frequently returned to Houston.
After the Red Crayola disbanded in 1968, he continued to collaborate with Mayo Thompson on writing and music projects until Thompson left Houston in 1973.
In the 1980's and 90's he became known for his fiction writing.
