Robert Coover, father of modern American experimental fiction, returns with "Stepmother," a masterful reimagining of the fairy-tale tradition. There is magic, there are princes, there are painful castrations. There is also beauty, and true love, of a sort.
Robert Coover is the author of Public Burning, Pinocchio in Venice, and many
others. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island, where he teaches at Brown
University.
