    Extractions: A FEW DECADES ago, Mary McCarthy, responding to a query about the direction of the American novel, told the new generation to "go back and fill in the genres." What she meant was that the rich but crude veins of American genre fictiondetective stories, Westerns, horror stories, etc.had been around long enough to be refined for a generation of readers now familiar with their conventions. Robert Coover might have heard McCarthy. For nearly a quarter of a century, he's been "filling in" all kinds of genres, from the murder mystery ( Gerald's Party ) to the baseball novel ( The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop. ) to fairy tales ( Briar Rose ), to movie novelizations ( You Must Remember This ). With his new novel, Ghost Town , Coover has now metafictionized (to borrow a trendy term that Coover has helped create) the Western. For decades, the American Western novel meant truck-stop paperback racks filled with works by Zane Grey, Max Brand and Louis L'Amour, but starting in the later '60s (or just about the time the Western stopped dominating TV and movies), American novelists started producing Western fiction not intended for pulp readers: Thomas Berger's novel about Custer, Little Big Man ; Ron Hansen's novels about Jesse James and the Dalton Gang

    Extractions: spajares@eucmos.sim.ucm.es R obert Coover es uno de los escritores americanos contemporáneos más respetados. Ha escrito catorce libros —el último Ghost Town (1998)— y su prosa innovadora revolucionó la literatura en los años setenta cuando se empezaron a conocer sus obras, especialmente Pricksongs and Descants (1969). El uso que hace del lenguaje y su reinterpretación de mitos e historias muy conocidos hacen que su voz sea una de las más originales y necesarias en el panorama cultural de finales de este siglo. También es célebre por su relación con el hipertexto —fue el primer autor importante en escribir un artículo sobre hipertexto en The New York Time Review of Books y lleva trabajando con ello desde hace años— y por su quehacer como profesor en la Universidad de Brown. Anagrama ha publicado algunas de sus obras traducidas al castellano. E- Empecemos escandalosamente: usted escribió en "The end of books" que le interesaba "la subversión de la novela tradicional burguesa y las ficciones que desafían la linealidad". ¿Por qué la novela decimonónica ya no sirve? (Hay gente que todavía la escribe) RC- Quizá la gente todavía escribe novelas decimonónicas porque el sentido de ese siglo ha vuelto en una especie de venganza, ya que nuestro propio final de siglo se parece más al de hace cien años que a otras décadas más recientes. Las formas —sociales, artísticas y demás— se hacen eco unas de otras reforzándose mutuamente; si uno es un iconoclasta en un campo no tiene sentido ser un partidario incondicional en otro. Pero tampoco soy dogmático acerca de esto. Sobre gustos no hay nada escrito... Simplemente me opuse a los dogmas novelísticos de forma establecidos del momento, quería romperlos y hacer posible la existencia de otros tipos de ficción. Creo que esto ha ocurrido porque coincidió que era una convicción ampliamente compartida.

    http://www.burningdeck.com/catalog/coover.htm
    
    Extractions: ISBN 1-886224-52-8 paperback $10 Robert Coover takes us through the looking-glass of Joseph Cornell's boxes into a world of "Grand Hotels" we never dreamed of. Rooms are accessed via ferris wheel. They open onto night voyages, crystal cages or sand fountains. They lead us back to childhood, to forgotten games, to sleeping princesses who do not await a prince and, finally, home, poor heart. Funny and wistful by turns, these brilliant vignettes explore the nature of desire and the melancholy of fulfilment. As the author says, the book is also intended as an "architectural portrait of the artist," with biographical information "built into the construction of the text like girders, brickwork, or decor." Coover's recent novels are Ghost Town Briar Rose and John's Wife (both 1996)

    Extractions: Robert Coover (Grove, 1996) Whoever it is that decides what the New York Times Notable Books of the Year are going to be for any given year has without a doubt one of the most thankless jobs in all of creation. It has always seemed to me that the "notable" books are those which didn't get the press run or critical notice to make it big, and without press run and critical notice you're always going to fight an uphill battle. And every year, NYT's Notable Books of the Year brings to light some of the finest gems in all of modern literature, but the spot swings off them too soon and they fade quickly back into obscurity. s It probably says something about Robert Coover, or about the critical climate in America today, that most every one of Coover's books has been a Notable Book of the Year, and yet still no one knows who the guy is. Even though he managed to break the NYT bestsellers list at least once in the past decade, the name still brings a scratching of the head and a "hmmm... sounds familiar, but I don't think I've read anything of his" reaction from most bibliophiles. How unfortunate this is, for Coover is a buried treasure waiting to be discovered, a truly gifted wordsmith, and Briar Rose may be the best place to start. It's short (eighty-odd pages), gloriously printed on some of the thickest paper I've ever seen in a commercially-published novel. Would that all novels were published with such an eye to quality as this slim trade paperback. Coover retells the story of Sleeping Beauty, but in an odd avant-garde way; his POV switches from Beauty's mind to the prince trying to get through the brambles outside the castle to the evil fairy who imprisoned her in her century-long sleep. Coover takes into account some of the more obvious questions one would be forced to wonder about hearing this story ("one hundred years of collected menses alone would be enough to drive any prince from the chamber..."), adds a streak of sexuality, and melds the whole mess into what is, ultimately, a story both frustrating and rewarding at the same time. What really happens? And when it does happen, is it all in Sleeping Beauty's mind? Do we know? More importantly, does it matter? Coover answers these questions with two emphatic "no" answers, and he is correct in doing so.

    Extractions: Jeden z pionier³w literackiego postmodernizmu tym razem proponuje czytelnikom parodię westernu. W Mieście widmie nie brak bijatyk, strzelanin, gry w pokera, ani nawet egzekucji – a wszystko to przedstawione jest z czarnym humorem, godnym drapieżnej komedii slapstickowej. Przygody bohatera, będącego na przemian szeryfem i przestępcą wyjętym spod prawa, oraz jego uczuciowe perypetie podszyte są surrealizmem. Widmowa sceneria miasteczka przemieszcza się niczym filmowe dekoracje, przypominając stale o fikcyjności westernowego świata, znanego przede wszystkim z takich arcydzieł gatunku jak W samo południe Dyliżans Człowiek bez gwiazdy . Coover zastanawia się, jak powstawały amerykańskie mity, oraz czym mit i złudzenie są dla nas.

    Extractions: COOVER, ROBERT US fiction writer, critic, and professor at Brown University. Due to his promotion of hypertext writing in his workshops at Brown and several groundbreaking essays on the field, it could easily be argued that Coover is the most important writer to hypertext fiction who has not actually published any of it. In three essays in the space of less than ten years in the 1990s, Coover both announced the birth and pronounced the death of hypertext fiction to the general public, to much consternation in different literary camps. The earliest, and at this date best-known, of these, "The End of Books" (Coover later said that the provocative title was not his own but was assigned by an editor) appeared in the New York Times Book Review in 1992. In this piece Coover described the new world of hypertext writing as it was being developed in his workshops at Brown University with the collaborative project THE HYPERTEXT HOTEL and the STORYSPACE hypertext writing system. About a year later Coover followed with another, longer essayprobably less well-known and certainly less memorably entitled"Hyperfiction: Novels for the Computer," also in NYTBR . In this essay Coover focused not on student projects but on EASTGATE SYSTEMS ' published works by various authors using Storyspace or HYPERCARD. The essay included important short reviews of

    Extractions: Although childhood is the source and model of all architecture, grand hotels included, the Grand Hotel Nymphlight is the only one known to bespecifically devoted to 'the child within,' as the hotel brochure putsit. All of the grand hotels that Coover, best known as a fiction writer and proselyte of hypertext, describes in this small book of prose poems are each the flower of a meditation on one of the "hotel" series by the American surrealist Joseph Cornell, but also coyly reveals the storiesof the fabulist "architects" the author himself? that created them. The Grand Hotel Night Air Balloon "originally designed as a colorful hot air balloon" boasts a lobby filled with caged tropical birds, a musical fountain,and rooms without walls, all enveloped in a "blue haze" recalling the helium of the balloon itself that cloaks and permeates its residents like a gaseous membrane.
