JOYCE CAROL OATES: The Gothic Queen September 1999 By Paula Guran Just keeping abreast of Joyce Carol Oates's bibliography is a challenge. Since 1963 she's written or edited more than 100 books and works of drama including more than three dozen novels. (Thank goodness for Randy Souther, who maintains the comprehensive Oates-authorized Celestial Timepiece Web site at Her latest book (at this writing in September, 1999) is WHERE I'VE BEEN, AND WHERE I'M GOING: ESSAYS, REVIEWS, AND PROSE (Plume), an amazing display of wide-ranging knowledge and diverse interests from psychokillers to the art of René Magritte and Edward Hopper to Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe to boxing. Her latest novel, BROKE HEART BLUES, a classic tale of misfit outsiders who disrupt the quietude of a small town was published in July by Dutton. Earlier in the year Dutton also issued her seventh suspense thriller written under the pseudonym "Rosamond Smith" STARR BRIGHT WILL BE WITH YOU SOON. The novel explores the dark bonds of twinship and the mind and emotions of a female serial killer. Among several books published last year was THE COLLECTOR OF HEARTS:NEW TALES OF THE GROTESQUE, a collection of short dark fiction comparable to her earlier HAUNTED: TALES OF THE GROTESQUE (1994). A literary luminary whose work has touched on many genres, she's received numerous awards including the F. Scott Fitzgerald Award for Lifetime Achievement in American Literature, the Rea Award for the Short Story, the National Book Award, and has written a bevy of O. Henry Award winning stories.

Miette's Bedtime Story Podcast Main November 09, 2007 Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? I read in the news yesterday that television writers here in the U.S. have gone on strike, and that because of the strike, everybody's arms are collectively thrown up in a great wide panic, because nobody knows what's going to happen on Charmed and because there's nobody to script the next great Wardrobe Malfunction, and this sounds like very bad news indeed and I was sorry to read it. Genuinely so, and not because of an audience's deprivation, nor out of concern for people fortunate enough to make their means by slinging a pen (although I do!), nor out of personal political predilections about labor of the organized variety (though I have them!) but because it's sad to think about all those characters in limbo (who knew Pirandello would prove the portent?) hanging off cliffs and otherwise unresolved. But so, more helpful might be to present alternative programming. And, well, I happen to be able to help there. For the characters among you, hang in there.

BBC Sport You are in: Learning English Moving Words Learning English - Moving Words Joyce Carol Oates My Choice... "Genius is not a gift but the way one invents in desperate circumstances." Jean-Paul Sartre "Genius" is a concept best experienced at a distance, ideally in time as well. Up close, it's likely that the individual perceived as extraordinarily gifted is likely to be a driven, obsessive, in some cases mildly - or not so mildly -deranged. One thinks of Edgar Allan Poe, for instance, whose brilliantly surreal hallucinatory fantasies seem to have sprung directly from his fevered unconscious, or, in a very different mode, the Norma Jean Baker who was transformed into 'Marilyn Monroe' by way, essentially, of her desperation to survive and to achieve an identity, in conjunction with the Hollywood of her era, comprised of individuals, nearly all of them male, who understood how to manufacture, market, and exploit a certain sort of female beauty. This enigmatic quotation of Jean-Paul Sartre, the Twentieth Century French existentialist philosopher, is one of the epigraphs for my novel Blonde which is an imagining, from within, of the life of Norma Jean Baker. It is clear that this fated young woman was driven to 'succeed' as a way simply of survival; she had no father, and her mother was a mentally disturbed woman who withheld love from Norma Jean throughout her life.

66. Joyce Carol Oates And Margaret Drabble Examine joyce carol oates and Margaret Drabble are not writers whom one ordinarily associates together, even though they are nearly the same age, http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/comm/oped/oates.shtml

Search Office of Communications: This review ran in the Chicago Tribune on Sunday, November 17, 2002. DIGGING DEEP INTO FAMILIAR GROUND Joyce Carol Oates And Margaret Drabble Examine The Complex Dynamics Of Female Identity By Joanne V. Creighton "I'll Take You There" by Joyce Carol Oates, Ecco, 290 pages, $25.95 and "The Seven Sisters" by Margaret Drabble, Harcourt, 307 pages, $25. Joyce Carol Oates and Margaret Drabble are not writers whom one ordinarily associates together, even though they are nearly the same age, respect one another's work and have been, for more than 35 years, distinctive voicesas writers and commentatorsin the American and English literary scenes respectively. To be sure, Oates has been more prolific. "I'll Take You There" is the 30th novel published under her name (with eight more under the pseudonym Rosamond Smithnot to mention at least 20 short-story collections and scores of other works), whereas "The Seven Sisters" is Drabble's 15th novel. For different reasons, both women have sometimes unfairly been categorized and dismissed as "popular" writers: Oates for her American seaminessthe violence, brutality, sexual compulsion and sordidness that often characterizes her fictionand Drabble for her English domesticitythe focus on quotidian lives of middle-class women. Yet neither should be underestimated. Both are accomplished novelists and erudite women of letters. Deeply informed by literary and intellectual traditions as well as by contemporary culture, their works of fiction are complex propositions about the nature of personality. Their latest novels are not only highly readable, surprisingly, they have a lot in common.

75. Joyce Carol Oates's Middle Age The prolific joyce carol oates writes, and writes, and writes. She has just released her latest novel, Middle Age. http://members.optusnet.com.au/~waldrenm/oates.html

At home with Joyce Carol Oates By Murray Waldren P RIOR to Middle Age (Fourth Estate), I hadn't read Joyce Carol Oates, despite her 40-year output of between 70 and 94 novels and non-fiction works (but who's counting?). My loss. Good judges tell me she has written some of the more enduring fiction of our time, and they cite Broke Heart Blues, We Were The Mulvaneys (an Oprah reading group selection) and Black Water as proof. They admire her range, from history through psychological realism and family chronicles to novels of female experience and (as Rosamond Smith) of suspense. And her tracts on everything from boxing to celebrity. Her take on the American psychology is purportedly dark and perceptive, her landscape an immoral America inhabited by sensitive people tormented by inner demons. Which is why, ahead of publication, I sought out the woman considered among America's leading literary intellects. And why in 24 hours I caught two planes, a bus, a train and a taxi to reach her HQ in a privileged part of privileged Princeton, New Jersey. To get there, I'd guided my Haitian cabbie via a hand-drawn map Oates had faxed, out past the Educational Testing Service and through the nebulously annotated "countryside" to where her unpretentious house squats amid rolling lawns and redolent forest. It's also why, amid her Frank Lloyd Wright atmosphere of museum cum cultured art haven, I began with biographical questions. My mistake because these bored her into immediate languor - I felt like an errant student failing a "discuss and elaborate" paper as she perched on a stylish sofa beside me. Oates may be waif-like and seriously thin but she has an authoritative presence. And sharpish features, which thankfully soften under a warming smile. Photographs don't do her justice. Until a year or so ago, the public Joyce was wont to hide behind Professor Oates's thick-rimmed glasses and severe haircuts; increasing celebrity seems to have raised her self-confidence - she is contact-lensed beneath draping curls when we meet, casual in jodhpurs, rollneck pullover and small-bird wariness.

Dedication Of Joyce Carol Oates Short Story To Dylan Originally compiled: August 31, 1997 Last revised: August 31, 1997 Why did Joyce Carol Oates dedicate her 1966 short story Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? to Bob Dylan? From: Rob Davidson (robertgd@omni.cc.purdue.edu) Date: 1996/04/08 In the fall of 1966 Joyce Carol Oates published a short story entitled Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? The story is dedicated To Bob Dylan . After hearing Oates read a couple of years ago, I asked her why that story was dedicated to Dylan. Was it because the story's title, a ref to A Hard Rain...? Oates said the real reason she dedicated the story to Dylan was because she'd been inspired to write the story after listening to It's All Over Now, Baby Blue . As soon as she said that, it made a lot of sense to me. The short story (which is an excellent short story in its own right) has some, perhaps, exlicit ties to Dylan's song. Lines from Dylan's song like The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore are obvious in the short story. But there are other, more intuitive connections as well. More to do with the mood and tone of the story and some of the subtle observations Oates makes about popular music and its effects on kids (she is not preaching). And, I think it should be said, Oates probably views the quality of Dylan's songwriting as an antidote, rather than a poison.
