Going for a Beer: Selected Short Fictions by Robert Coover
Did not finish book.
1.0
I couldn't get through this short story collection by Robert Coover. I read 6 of the 30 short stories and found them all to be disgusting, offensive, and confusing.
There was no solid timeline in any of these stories and (as a woman) I found myself insulted. I feel the female characters were only added in to show off their bodies. (Granted, the stories I read were written in the 1960s, but that doesn't give the author the right to treat his woman characters like objects) I am never going to pick up another book by this author again.
