Oates, Joyce Carol
A Bloodsmoor Romance
Paperback; Good
This is the authors version of the nineteenth-century romance. Steeped in Victoriana and told by a demure, virgin narrator, A Bloodsmoor Romance is an ingenious blend of myth and history, humour and profoundity, the sublime and the grotesque. It is a rich account of one family's "ignominous" history and provides us with a singular vision of America's formative years.

Oates, Joyce Carol
Sexy

After that day, after what happened (did it happen?), life is different. Darren is different. Nothing is as it was -- before. His friends, his family, even the people who are supposed to be in charge are no longer who Darren thought they were. Who can he trust, now?

Oates, Joyce Carol
Them (Wonderland Quartet)
Paperback; Fair
As writer Joyce Carol Oates states in the introduction of her them, this book is `the only kind of fiction that is real'. The gimmick in this book is that she tells the story as if it were reality. According to her early note, the narrative is based on some letters she received from a former student. This so-called student wasn't a good writer, but she thought her story worthy telling therefore her teacher assumed the task. The student is Maureen Wendal, one of `them'. The narrative is about her and her mother, Loretta, and her older brother Jules. Oates follows a couple of years in the lives of these people. In their lives there are many ingredients that could turn the novel into a soap opera -- rape, love, lies, prostitution --, but this writer does not deal with the cheap prose. Her sentences are crafted, and her characters thoroughly developed, making all of them very real. Political and historic background lend the book more relevance. The famous Detroit riots in the middle 60's are part of these lives. Oates seems to be interested in the subtle relationship between reality and fiction. She borrows `real' lives to construct fiction that has as basis real facts that change the lives of her characters.
