Going For a Beer: Selected Short Fictions by Robert Coover

5.0

I listened to this, rather than reading it. It's almost hard to hear. While much of Coover's writing is dreamlike and distant, this one is hard and close and sharply edged. It still has that element of being not quite real, but in this one that lack of reality is used much like linear perspective might be in an architectural drawing- the fantasy makes it more true, not less.
