This ‘blog is now the news section for Celestial Timepiece: A Joyce Carol Oates Home Page. Here you’ll find notice of updates to Celestial Timepiece; links to JCO-related pieces on the wider web; and, from time to time, a more personal take on the world of JCO.
For twelve and a half years, Celestial Timepiece has been a repository of information and facts about Joyce Carol Oates and her writing. During that time I purposely avoided personal commentary, not wanting to become an apologist, antagonist, propagandist, etc. And though still I don’t wish to be these things, I do feel it is time to offer an opinion when it seems warranted.
Celestial Timepiece will continue as before, but with, in effect, an Editorial page. This weblog marks my gently crossing that editorial line, Crossing the Border.
Hi Randy,
I’m planning to write a thesis on JCO’s Foxfire.
In the discussion group I found the article “Foxfire in the Crossfire” by Lawrence Hill. Please could you tell me where and when it was published, so I can cite her?
In case you have any piece of advice where I can find more articles about the book, please let me know (my German online database hasn’t been very successful this far…)
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Nici,
The article (in an edited version of what you have seen) was published in the Globe and Mail (Canada) in Feb 11, 1997, pp. E1, and titled: “Parents’ smear campaign scores some disturbing victories.”
Check the JCO bibliography for listings of other articles/books: http://jco.usfca.edu/works/glassark.html

Hi Randy,
Speaking of Foxfire, we’re looking to show the film version here at our screening series sometime over the summer. Do you know who might hold the rights to this?
Thanks,
Todd
Hi Todd,
I don’t know — that’s out of my realm. Perhaps contacting the distributor of the dvd?
