Called a "master" by The New York Times Book Review, Robert Coover
has been one of the most important figures in postmodern literature
for over twenty years. In Briar Rose, he puts his unique spin on
one of the oldest and best-known of all fairy tales, Sleeping
Beauty.
Briar Rose tells of a prince trapped in the briars; a sleeping
beauty who cannot awaken, dreaming of a succession of kissing
princes; and the old spell-casting fairy who inhabits the
princess's dreams, regaling her with legends of other sleeping
beauties and trying to imagine the nature of human desire.
