Pinocchio in Venice is a carnivalesque reemersion in the well-known
fairy tale - as well as magic realism, Mann's Death in Venice, and
Nabokov's Lolita - with the puppet, now an aged Nobel Prize winner
and aesthete, returning to Venice to pay his final tribute. As he
turns back to wood, Robert Coover's hero is reunited with his old
friends and foes while he painfully searches for the Blue-Haired
Fairy who put flesh on his limbs. Written in Coover's signature
style, this is both a brilliant meditation on what it means to be
human and a hilarious and bawdy adventure. Pinocchio in Venice
represents Coover at his finest.
