About this product
Product Information
Written with the raw honesty and poignant insight that were the hallmarks of her acclaimed bestseller A Widow's Story, an affecting and observant memoir of growing up from one of our finest and most beloved literary masters. The Lost Landscape is Joyce Carol Oates' vivid chronicle of her hardscrabble childhood in rural western New York State. From memories of her relatives, to those of a charming bond with a special red hen on her family farm; from her first friendships to her earliest experiences with death, The Lost Landscape is a powerful evocation of the romance of childhood, and its indelible influence on the woman and the writer she would become. In this exceptionally candid, moving, and richly reflective account, Oates explores the world through the eyes of her younger self, an imaginative girl eager to tell stories about the world and the people she meets. While reading Alice in Wonderland changed a young Joyce forever and inspired her to view life as a series of endless adventures, growing up on a farm taught her harsh lessons about sacrifice, hard work, and loss. With searing detail and an acutely perceptive eye, Oates renders her memories and emotions with exquisite precision, transporting us to a forgotten place and time--the lost landscape of her youth, reminding us of the forgotten landscapes of our own earliest lives.

Reviews
"...a tender-hearted excavation of [Oates'] hardscrabble early life...in sharing with us the lost landscape of her childhood, she has ensured it will never be forgotten." -- O magazine "Oates perfectly captures the unique confusion of childhood, brought on by the unsatisfying explanations of adults." -- Elle "'The Lost Landscape'...offers a window into a highly original mind. While it is never a given that a writer's personal story can illuminate her work, in Oates' case, it very much does." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "[An] intriguing new memoir...Oates mines literary gold." -- San Francisco Chronicle "This captivating account of the growth of a writer's mind puts [Oates'] new collection of essays firmly in the tradition of similar autobiographical works by writers such as Goethe, Wordsworth, and Joyce." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "[An] intimate yet sweeping memoir..." -- The New Yorker "...affecting...the book place[s] us intimately in the mind of Oates' vulnerable self." -- Providence Journal "A tender-hearted excavation of [Oates'] hardscrabble early life...in sharing with us the lost landscape of her childhood, she has ensured it will never be forgotten." -- O magazine "Stunning...[a] varied, kaleidoscopic, and...insightful map to the formation of a writer who understands how deeply mysterious the 'familiar' really is." -- Publishers Weekly, "Stunning...[a] varied, kaleidoscopic, and...insightful map to the formation of a writer who understands how deeply mysterious the 'familiar' really is." -- Publishers Weekly "...a tender-hearted excavation of [Oates'] hardscrabble early life...in sharing with us the lost landscape of her childhood, she has ensured it will never be forgotten." -- O magazine "Oates perfectly captures the unique confusion of childhood, brought on by the unsatisfying explanations of adults." -- Elle "'The Lost Landscape'...offers a window into a highly original mind.
