The down-and-out blend seamlessly with the well-to-do. Scammers find themselves the target of a con so twisted that by the time they begin to figure it out it's too late to extract themselves. But what's the occasion? Is it a party? A religious congregation? A real estate listing? Or is there something else going on?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor over half a century, Robert Coover has been one of the most inventive and unpredictable writers in the American academy. Long heralded for his commitment to formal as well as technological innovation, with \u003cem\u003eOpen House\u003c\/em\u003e, Coover reminds readers that his work is as steeped in literary history as it is forward-thinking experimentation. This tension--between old and new, between a romanticized past and a future we only pretend we can predict--animates Coover's latest metafiction, where narrative is at once the point and so beside the point that it calls into question all the myths by which we organize our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Evergreen Review Books, an imprint of OR Books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Coover\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of twenty-some books of fiction and plays, including \u003cem\u003eThe Cat in the Hat for President\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Enchanted Prince\u003c\/em\u003e.
