There's no need to inundate the world with books and language. It's just too full already. There's so much rubbish hiding in the world. But as long as I think I can do something inventive and insightful, then I'll keep doing it.

More quotes by Robert Coover
The narrative impulse is always with us we couldn't imagine ourselves through a day without it.
Robert Coover
I see no reason to stop writing. But the reason isn't always one of your own. The mind is not invulnerable, and it can lose some of its powers.
Robert Coover
Some ways of naming a generation are fruitful and some are not. Postmodernism is not. It doesn't really say anything.
Robert Coover
We need myths to get by. We need story otherwise the tremendous randomness of experience overwhelms us. Story is what penetrates.
Robert Coover
Metafiction says something. It has to do with taking a large fiction itself and writing within it that kind of self-reflecting writing that emerges from it can be thought of as metafictional.
