Description
A new collection of stories from Joyce Carol Oates explores the darker corners of life, revealing the menace that lurks at the edges of even the safest lives. Eleven previously uncollected tales showcase her inventive style and keen emotional insight. Oates delves into the inner landscapes of two young women in 1940s Los Angeles: Elizabeth Short, victim of a brutal murder, and her roommate Norma Jeane Baker. She also examines the psychological compulsion of a wife who elopes with a lover who is not what he seems, and the uneasily duplicitous relationships between young women and their parents. Through these stories, Oates maps the intertwining of dread and desire, the psychic pull and trauma of domestic life, with her characteristic mordant humor and trenchant observation.
