And he reshapes his own: a man makes repeating, re-imagined journeys in an office elevator (while his fellow riders taunt and tempt him), and in the seminal, fractal 'The Babysitter' every moment in a single night is played and replayed, every hope and threat of sex and violence done and undone. Coover's dark, wilfil, comic imagination revels brilliantly in contradictions, a master of chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Modern Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48560575971553,"sku":"9780141192956","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0510\/5215\/0960\/files\/Robert-Coover-Pricksongs.jpg?v=1781826433","url":"https:\/\/50wattsbooks.com\/products\/pricksongs-descants-robert-coover-uk-paperback","provider":"50 Watts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
