Radical and racy, Robert Coover†s Coover Stories is a new collection of incisive, inventive works from the postmodern master. When Robert Coover†s first collection Pricksongs & Descants came out in 1969, his shortstory “The Babysitter,� took the literary world by storm. Described as “metafiction at its best,�his work is taught in classrooms more than half a century later, no less relevant†andirreverent†than at its debut. Provocative, experimental, and biting, Coover†s darkly satiricwriting has pushed the avant-garde to its limits and sired a generation of postmodernists. Coover Stories is the fourth short story collection from Robert Coover. Drawing on decades of experience, the William FaulknerFoundation Award†winning writer continues to shock and engage his readers with his wit, style, and keen critical eye for the paradoxes of modernity.
