    Extractions: Robert Coover hat den Western aufs Wesentliche reduziert und einen brillanten Roman daraus gemacht Nehmen wir uns eine Filmleinwand. Groß und weiß und leer. Und da malen wir jetzt drauf herum. Eine nachtschwarze Geschichte. Einen Traum. Einen Western. Der geht so: Ein Cowboy reitet durch Geierland. Sandfarben die Erde, bleich der Horizont. Hinter ihm ist nichts, vor ihm ist auch nichts. Ledrig ist er, "sonnenverbrannt und so alt wie die Berge. Und doch ist er bloß ein Junge. Wird auch nie was anderes sein." Er umkreist eine Stadt, die Stadt umkreist ihn. Bis eines Tages Straßen unter seine Füße gleiten und Häuser sich um ihn herum stellen. Im Saloon der Geisterstadt ist noch Leben. Unser altes, ledriges Kind mit dem großen Hut wird von den üblichen Saloonbewohnern zum Sheriff bestimmt, soll den Bankdirektor hängen, die Barfrau heiraten, verliebt sich in die Lehrerin. Wunderliche Dinge geschehen währenddessen. Die Stadt verändert sich ständig, verschiebt sich, die Bank rutscht an die Stelle, wo gerade noch der Saloon stand. Ein gespenstischer Riese von Pferd galoppiert herum. Es ist permanent High Noon. Und doch extrem dunkel. Eine seltsame Geschichte. Juppie-tai-jippie-tai-jippie-yeah (Robert Coover) Die Geschichte vom alten ledrigen Kind im Geierland ist eine Robert-Coover-Geschichte. Eine ziemlich typische. Dem bald 70-Jährigen hängt vollkommen zu Recht der Ruf an, einer der größten Konventionskiller der amerikanischen Literatur zu sein. Wo Coover war, war meistens vorne in der Literatur. Zusammen mit

    Extractions: Click here to download PDF Reader. The Pleasures of the Difficult Jonathan Baumbach In the distorting light of immediate impression, one's own period tends to seem more extreme than any other, our deficiencies more egregious. This literary moment's persuasive illusion is that fewer works that challenge the reader's skills are being read. The reasons may be beside the point, though they are everywhere apparent. Impatience seems high on the list. We want immediate payoffs for our commitments of time and concentration. Fiction, suggests the evidence, tends to be used more and more as a licit form of drug abuse. The difficult in fiction has a variety of faces. There are opaque surfaces, obscure diction, work that is challenging conceptually. There are also fictions that appear simple that are deceptively elusive. Difficult fiction is not, as has been assumed, less emotionally compelling than readily accessible work. The fiction I'm talking about tends to resist easy manipulation, does not wear its emotional life on its sleeve. It's arguable, of course, but I'm not alone in thinking that the most original fiction in America of the last three decades comes by and large from the difficult writers on the postmodernists panel at Brown ten years ago.

    http://www.barcelonareview.com/30/c_rc.htm
    
    Extractions: Traducció de Quim Monzó a Benet Rossell Va néixer l'any eixordador i calamitós de l'avortat cometa a mig camí entre la lletra àlef i la clau de do de seductora duplicitat (altrament el poble no tindria nom) sota el signe astral de la Tinta Vessada (en temps més moderns conegut com el Forat Sense Cor), cèlebre per la seva influencia esvalotadora en vides altrament virtuoses i austeres. Era ella la que buidava els cranis i escombrava els llits torturats, la que preparava l'estofat quotidià de catàstrofe i gresca, la que tocava les hores, la que projectava les ombres, protegint-les de la mort per il·luminació, la que els rentava totes les angoixes humils i prèviament encongides, la que se les estenia sobre els membres extensos per curar-les al sol violent, com pernils de muntanya. Quan, molt més tard, li van demanar que descrivís els primers records, l'artista va contestar: «Salats». Va ser també sa mare la primera a adonar-se que les paraules eren pedres i, doncs, no tan sols indigestes sinó també de poc valor al mercat, que només servien (com la resta de nosaltres) per tapar forats. Aquesta és l'observació que va fer en públic; l'observació privada, feta tan sols a la família, era que tot és una pedra, fins l'aire, l'amor i els somnis. Això va proporcionar una gran estabilitat a la vida del fill, i una gran desesperació, ja que li va fer difícil, entre altres coses, respirar (sempre aquell xerric-xerrac càustic, com una platja pedregosa rascleta per onades de tempesta), però li va alliberar l'art de la il·lusió de permutabilitat.

    http://www.sc.edu/uscpress/2002/3482.html
    
    Extractions: Matthew J. Bruccoli, founding editor About the Book About the Author Order the Book In Understanding Robert Coover, In this comprehensive study, Evenson discusses Coover's novels from his award-winning first book, The Origin of the Brunists, to his controversial The Public Burning Pricksongs and Descants, Pinocchio in Venice, and Briar Rose, as well as the revisionary western Ghost Town . Evenson also looks at Coover's latest novel, The Adventures of Lucky Pierre: Raw Footage Evenson explicates Coover's rewriting of myths and explores his willingness to break the frame of his fiction so as to include both fantastic and realistic elements. Evenson also show that, for Coover, storymaking is essential to what makes us human, and for that reason his ideas remain at the heart of what makes literature dynamic and intriguing. Understanding Robert Coover addresses these issues and explicates Coover's often difficult and formally innovative fiction.

    http://monkeyfist.com/articles/649
    
    Extractions: Depending on which page you open it to, Robert Coover's sprawling 1977 novel The Public Burning may appear to be any one of a great many things: an expose of a miscarriage of injustice; a fictional memoir of Richard M. Nixon; an analysis of occult elements in public space and government rites; a historical novel about the Eisenhower era; a comic-book battle between a fantastic superhero and supervillain; or a far-reaching critique of a nation so caught up in its own fears and hysterical rhetoric that it can no longer honor its own ideals. It is testament to Coover's immense skills as a writer that his novel succeeds at being all of these things, and ends up, in fact, transcending the sum of its formidable parts. The Public Burning takes as its topic the execution of ``atomic spies'' Julius and Ethel Rosenberg clemency movement , including such figures as Albert Einstein and Jean-Paul Sartre, a movement which in many ways prefigures the Mumia Abu-Jamal movement of today.

    http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/coover.html
    
    Extractions: University at Albany's Uptown Campus Afternoon Seminar, 4:00 p.m., in LC 25 Robert Coover has been hailed by The New York Times as "a one-man Big Bang of exploding creative force." His latest novel, John's Wife , was released in April 1996 on the thirtieth anniversary of his first novel The Origin of the Brunists (1966) which won the William Faulkner Award for the best first novel. Coover's other works include the novels The Public Burning (1977), a "factional" account of the conviction and execution in 1953 of alleged spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg; Gerald's Party (1986), and Pinocchio in Venice (1991); and the short story collections Picksongs and Descants In Bed One Night and Other Brief Encounters (1983), and A Night at the Movies (1987) which won the Rea Award for the Short Story. Coover, respected and praised for his versatility and inventiveness, produces works which blur the distinction between fantasy and reality. Time magazine's Paul Gray said that Coover has won a "reputation as an avant-gardist who can do with reality what a magician does with a pack of cards: shuffle the familiar into unexpected patterns."

    Extractions: IN the real world nowadays, that is to say, in the world of video transmissions, cellular phones, fax machines, computer networks, and in particular out in the humming digitalized precincts of avant-garde computer hackers, cyberpunks and hyperspace freaks, you will often hear it said that the print medium is a doomed and outdated technology, a mere curiosity of bygone days destined soon to be consigned forever to those dusty unattended museums we now call libraries. Indeed, the very proliferation of books and other print-based media, so prevalent in this forest-harvesting, paper-wasting age, is held to be a sign of its feverish moribundity, the last futile gasp of a once vital form before it finally passes away forever, dead as God. Which would mean of course that the novel, too, as we know it, has come to its end. Not that those announcing its demise are grieving. For all its passing charm, the traditional novel, which took center stage at the same time that industrial mercantile democracies arose and which Hegel called "the
