Beschreibung

<p>One hundred floors above Manhattan, a diverse group of guests and gate-crashers come together in a luxurious penthouse. 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?</p> <p>For 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 <em>Open House</em>, 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.</p><p></p><p>From Evergreen Review Books, an imprint of OR Books.</p>
