I was reading Larry Strattner's information here and he noted that Robert Coover's "Going for a Beer" was one of his favorite stories. I'd only ever read "The Babysitter" by Coover so I went and read this one. It is fine, fine, fine. Here's the link, if you're interested in reading something wildly inventive but still very much grounded:

Yes, absolutely, Glad he thought of it, the best one I've read this year.
Makes ya kinda wanna work harder, ya know?
That Coover story is great. Short and well worth the read. Thanks, Larry and Sheldon, for finding this.
Jesus, that's brilliant.
Love it, thanks guys!
That is an amazingly interesting story. Thanks for the link.
My pleasure, folks.
Really great read.
