Going For a Beer: Selected Short Fictions
Author: Robert Coover
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393608476
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
“A mixtape of variations and a fugue on time from a postmodern master.… Familiar tales and conventional genres are made new, tinged with shuddering wonder and titillating humor.” —Yu-Yun Hsieh, The New York Times Book Review Robert Coover has been playing by his own rules for more than half a century, earning the 1987 Rea Award for the Short Story as “a writer who has managed, willfully and even perversely, to remain his own man while offering his generous vision and versions of America.” Here, in this selection of his best stories, you will find an invisible man tragically obsessed by an invisible woman; a cartoon man in a cartoon car who runs over a real man who is arrested by a real policeman with cartoon eyes; a stick man who reinvents the universe. While invading the dreams and nightmares of others, Coover cuts to the core of how realism works.

Pricksongs and Descants
Author: Robert Coover
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 9780802136671
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Pricksongs & Descants, originally published in 1969, is a virtuoso performance that established its author - already a William Faulkner Award winner for his first novel - as a writer of enduring power and unquestionable brilliance, a promise he has fulfilled over a stellar career. It also began Coover's now-trademark riffs on fairy tales and bedtime stories. In these riotously word-drunk fictional romps, two children follow an old man into the woods, trailing bread crumbs behind and edging helplessly toward a sinister end that never comes; a husband walks toward the bed where his wife awaits his caresses, but by the time he arrives she's been dead three weeks and detectives are pounding down the door; a teenaged babysitter's evening becomes a kaleidoscope of dangerous erotic fantasies-her employer's, her boyfriend's, her own; an aging, humble carpenter marries a beautiful but frigid woman, and after he's waited weeks to consummate their union she announces that God has made her pregnant. Now available in a Grove paperback, Pricksongs & Descants is a cornerstone of Robert Coover's remarkable career and a brilliant work by a major American writer.

Author: Ming Zhuhai
Publisher: Funstory
ISBN: 1647813956
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 704
Book Description
Only when she married him, who was secretly in love at the age of twenty-two, did she realize how much he hated her.After the first night, he left behind a few words beside her pillow, "I won't give you a child. Even if you want to die, I won't give you one!"She smiled wryly, closing her eyes and swallowing the medicine. The marriage was so cold that it almost made her despair. After the last courtship, she had been waiting for him at home for three months, expecting him to appear in the arms of another woman.He had taken his fiancée away to America, but she was kneeling in front of her father's spirit, her body bleeding from miscarriage.He was like a god who had fallen from the sky, and he began his resplendent life in the United States. And she was struggling at the bottom of her life, not daring to speak out loud and not daring to look up, all sorts of eyes wanting her to lose all the grace she had once had.When she had suffered through so much in her life, when she finally forgot the pain and no longer loved him and prepared to marry another man, he suddenly returned to the country and found her. He looked at her and sneered.Standing beside her was the child that she had given birth to. However, he stubbornly held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go.I don't love you anymore. I just want to wait for my husband to come back.He said, "I was the only one who could give you happiness."She looked at him in silence. But I'm already married, and I've never thought of getting married again.Even though he knew that she hated him to the bones, he still wanted to keep her by his side and not let her go. Fu Jingzhi, it doesn't matter if you hate me or hate me; I only want you to give birth to this child, a child that belongs to me alone!
