Novelist Coover to read from new book at Brown
Robert Coover, who taught at Brown University for more than three decades and has written 14 novels, is back with a new one, "The Brunist Day of Wrath."

Now Coover, who taught at Brown University for more than three decades and has written 14 novels, is back with a new one, "The Brunist Day of Wrath." He'll read from it at 7 p.m. on April 1 in the McCormack Family Theater, 70 Brown St..
