Joyce Carol Oates will be awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the PEN Center USA at their annual awards festival on October 22, 2012.
Oates is my heroine; not only for her prolific talents but her history of cutting edge dark fiction. I just finished re-reading “Expensive People” one of her breakout novels. It chronicles an upper middle class (of foreign descent) family in Gross Pointe, Michigan. The protagonist is a troubled adolescent turned stalker turned ….read and find out. Highly criticized at the time as she took the first smackdown swipe at Suburbia. Fearless, concise and detached, I love Joyce Carol Oates on all levels.
moi aussi j’adore JCO
Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or
maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My website addresses a lot of the same topics as
yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from
each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!
