My newest McSweeneys book to read.

"Robert Coover, one of the true revolutionaries in American fiction, presents a new collection of short stories, revealing the cruelty of puppets, the perfection of a jigsaw puzzle, and the lonelinesss of the invisible man. Outlandish and precise, menacing and humane, this collection finds new life in our oldest tales."

"Coover shows he has plenty of fire left in this bawdy and witty remix of 18 popular tales -- from Puff the Magic Dragon to the Pied Piper and Casey at the bat. In [his] hands, our stories shimmer as we hope they might, showing us a more open way of living."
–Minneapolis Star Tribune

PLUS you can get it at the McSweeney's garage sale online, for ONLY 5 DOLLARS.
