Pinocchio In Venice by Robert Coover
A hallucinatory, postmodern reimagining of the Pinocchio myth set amid the labyrinthine canals and masked revels of Venice, the novel follows the puppet’s ambiguous return into human and city life as a vehicle for erotic obsession, transgression, and murderous whimsy. Through fragmented, metafictional episodes and shifting narrators it interrogates storytelling, identity, desire, and the porous boundaries between performance and reality, blending dark humor, surreal eroticism, and moral unease.
