Bob's Your Uncle

Today we join together in joyful, ebullient remembrance. The greatest American writer of all time. Bob of the jolly automata and jerry-rigged comic hostilities. He of the panoply of fables and the sort of lewd, acrobatic sex that demands a fourth X.

Robert Coover
February 4th, 1932 - October 5th, 2024


92 is a classy and right proper age at which 
to doff cap and bow out. 

Maybe he was paying homage to 
a certain Thomas McGuane novel,
or maybe nobody knows what's happening
right as fate snowplows they ass.

Bob reads from his legendary novel The Public Burning
