Robert Coover has written several books that could be considered fairy tale-esque, including:
* The Magic Poker: This book reimagines the traditional fairy tale of "The Three Little Pigs" as a darkly humorous and surreal tale of war and societal corruption.
* Pricksongs & Other Tales: This collection of stories features themes of fantasy and the uncanny, with many stories exploring familiar fairy tale tropes.
* The Public Burning: While not strictly a fairy tale, this novel blends historical fiction with surreal elements and uses the story of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's execution as a backdrop for a darkly comedic exploration of American paranoia and fear.
Once you provide the book title, I can give you a more specific analysis of how it relates to the genre of fairy tales.
