Robert Coover is one of our foremost storytellers, a writer who uses experimental techniques in his fiction, plays, poetry, and essays to create otherworldly effects. Perhaps best known for The Public Burning, in which he reinvents the case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Coover often explores the relationship between myth and reality. His most conventional book, The Origin of the Brunists, received the William Faulkner Award for best first novel. One of the founders of the Electronic Literature Organization, he lives in Providence, Rhode Island, where he is a professor at Brown University.
