Beschreibung
These two novellas by the groundbreaking fearless and immeasurably influential Robert Coover are dirty funny and brilliant. In Briar Rose a sleeping beauty is trapped in an enchantment for a hundred years dreaming of stories in which someone like her wakes up disappointed or becomes a mother or is stripped and defiled. And as she dreams outside failed princes die and hang their remains on the thorns of a briar hedge. In Spanking the Maid a maid and her master are each committed to their own hard service: she attempting to perform her simple duties without error; he supplying punishment by rod belt hairbrush whip cane and slipper when she inevitably fails. These tales of desire are Coover at his most darkly playful.
