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.
