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.
