About this product
Product Information
Joyce Carol Oates is not only one of our most important novelists and literary critics, she is also an unparalleled master of the short story. Sourland-sixteen previously uncollected stories that explore the power of violence, loss, and grief to shape the psyche as well as the soul-shows us an author working at the height of her powers. With lapidary precision and an unflinching eye, Oates maps the surprising contours of "ordinary" life, from a desperate man who dons a jack-o'-lantern head as a prelude to a most curious sort of courtship to a beguiling young woman librarian whose amputee state attracts a married man and father; from a girl hopelessly in love with her renegade, incarcerated cousin to the concluding title story of an unexpectedly redemptive love rooted in radical aloneness and isolation. Each story in Sourland resonates beautifully with Oates's trademark fascination for the unpredictable amid the prosaic-the commingling of sexual love and violence, the tumult of family life-and shines with her predilection for dark humor and her gift for voice.

Reviews
A master class in the art of pure, suspenseful storytelling...Oates is a dangerous writer in the best sense of the word, one who takes risks almost obsessively with energy and relish... [a] dazzling collection., Oates is just a fearless writer. . . with her brave heart and her impossibly lush and dead-on imaginative powers., "Making sense of life in a cataclysmic inner and outer landscape has been Joyce Carol Oates' obsession for five decades.
