Described as “metafiction at its best,”\nhis work is taught in classrooms more than half a century later, no less relevant—and\nirreverent—than at its debut. Provocative, experimental, and biting, Coover’s darkly satiric\nwriting has pushed the avant-garde to its limits and sired a generation of postmodernists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCoover Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is the fourth short story collection from Robert Coover.
