My friend Bucky commented on here recently asking what I thought about Robert Coover. After replying to him, I decided it might be a good idea to link to some supplemental information about Coover:

Bucky and I were discussing The Public Burning, which I absolutely love. Coover really nails the voices of Nixon and the Rosenbergs. This novel has been very influential on my own writing.
A few months ago Coover gave a reading at the Kelly Writers House in Philadelphia. They have mp3s uploaded of his reading and a question/answer session.
Here is the video of Coover’s keynote from the Electronic Literature In Europe conference from last fall.
