A Garden of Earthly Delights "'A Garden of Earthly Delights' is not altogether successful. For two-thirds of the way it is as good as anything the season has turned up so far, but in the last part it slips into a lower key and although the book ends with a melodramatic flourish, we are a little too aware of the melodrama for the ending to have the effect it should."

Jane Yolen Joyce Carol Oates sings the Broke Heart Blues INTERVIEW BY ELLEN KANNER In Joyce Carol Oates's new novel, Broke Heart Blues , headlines scream SUBURBAN TEEN TRIED IN SHOOTING DEATH OF MOTHER'S LOVER. That teen, John Reddy Heart, is the book's mysterious, romantic central figure and the source of endless speculation. Though Oates is neither murderer nor teen idol, she knows what public scrutiny feels like. One of America's most innovative and prolific literary writers, Oates maintains a low profile, causing fans and critics to wonder who she really is and how she does what she does. Not only does she write great novels, Oates has written a lot of them, 30 to date. In addition, she's been teaching at Princeton for the past 20 years, and is releasing this month both a new collection of criticism, Where I've Been, and Where I'm Going and Starr Bright Will Be with You Soon, a psychological thriller written under the pseudonym Rosamond Smith. Oates may be a brooding figure of intrigue to others, but her creativity is no mystery at all, just hard work. "I do only one work at a time. I tend to be obsessive and haunted by the work," said the author, speaking from Princeton. "I don't work fast but I work a long time every day. I start fairly early in the morning and go till about 1:00. I take time off in the afternoon and I teach two days a week, but then I can sometimes work again till midnight." But attempts to demystify herself have done no good. Like John Reddy, Oates is often a figure onto whom others project their own personal myths.

20. SALON Departments: Lit Chat An interview with the author, discussing her novel, Zombie, and the concept of books made into films. http://www.salon.com/06/departments/litchat.html

J oyce Carol Oates, the prolific novelist, playwright, poet and critic, has never been afraid to explore the darker side of the human psyche. At a recent interview at San Francisco's City Arts and Lecture Series, she talked about her most recent novel, "Zombie," which is told from the perspective of a serial sex killer. A collection of her short stories, "Will You Always Love Me and Other Stories," will be published by Dutton in February. Was it difficult for you as a writer to imagine the voice of a serial killer? How were you able to do this so effectively? Earlier I had envisioned the serial killer standing in front of an audience, and it would be like a theatrical, dramatic monologue. The human voice, and the ways in which the human being expresses him or herself in the theatrical setting, is very interesting to me. Often people standing in front of an audience say things and reveal things about themselves that they would never even dream of revealing in a more intimate situation. Nor would they think of these things if they were alone. There's some strange perhaps it's an atavistic response, maybe it's not understood at all. I don't have any problem with that. Most of the difficulty I have is with the form. To find the sentence, the unit of speech, and how long or how short should the chapter be. Should the novel be in three parts or two parts? Should it have an epilogue and a prologue? All my work is very architecturally structured.
