Written early in Coover's illustrious career, Spanking the Maid is
an impeccable and spellbinding novel about a master, his maid, and
the irresistible ritual that binds them.
A bedroom and a bathroom are the only places where the two
characters meet, and every day it is the same. The maid comes to
the bedroom to clean. She inevitably forgets something -- the soap,
fresh sheets, a bucket -- or does something wrong. The master has
had a nightmare he can't quite recall that had something to do with
when he was in school: lectures, or was it lechers? No matter, the
maid must be reprimanded for her neglect, and out comes the handy
paraphernalia -- a hairbrush, a cat-o'-nine-tails, a rod, a cane --
and the spanking begins.
Included in Harold Bloom's The Western Canon and named by Daphne
Merkin in The New Yorker as one of her "favorite" S/M books,
Spanking the Maid is a spare, tantalizing, and perfect book by an
American master.
