Coover Stories

Radical and racy, Robert Coovers Coover Stories is a new collection of incisive, inventive works from the postmodern master.When Robert Coovers first collection Pricksongs & Descants came out in 1969, his short story 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 relevantand irreverentthan at its debut. Provocative, experimental, and biting, Coovers darkly satiric writing 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 Faulkner Foundation Awardwinning writer continues to shock and engage his readers with his wit, style, and keen critical eye for the paradoxes of modernity.
