Another of Joyce Carol Oates novels.
I bought the book because of the signature. Ms Oates has done everything to do in her world of being a published Author, Teacher, Critic, Judge of Literature, has sat on numerous panels, etc. She has won many awards but a few have escaped her such as being a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize but not a winner, and the Nobel Prize. There is a push for the Nobel before she retires or expires. Join in send an email to any college Professor for them to please join this push and nominate Joyce Carol Oates.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
