Caroline Happy belated Birthday - I want to sneak in on a class of yours at Princeton. Unfortunately your classes aren't available to audit :(

Diane Jones

Diane Jones Try to read all your books....are you still teaching Creative Writing at Princeton? I worked at Princeton U. for many years...I used to see you and Toni Morrison eating lunch in the Annex, which I understand no longer exists.

Amy Thompson Wolff

Amy Thompson Wolff In the middle of "My Sister, My Love" - heartbreaking, but I can't stop reading. Loved "Blonde" and "Black Girl/White Girl", too. What should I read next?

Lynda

Lynda Recently re-read "Zombie" and was again blown away by her writing - I agree, impossible to put down, or forget about soon after. Also read "Wild Nights," enjoyed very much.

Paul Hossfield

Paul Hossfield My daughter & I both recently read "Zombie". It was impossible to put down, really creeped me out, the d not so much. She has a strong stomach, that one.

Jill Peper

Jill Peper I was just reading the short story "Where Are You Going Where Have You Been" I am really enjoying it. There is just one thing that has stumped me. What is the signifigance of the combination 33 19 17; what does it mean?

Amber Reyes

Amber Reyes I saw her speak at U of Illinois... She was delightfully sardonic and just a tad bitter.

Robb King

Robb King i would just like to note that i have heard joyce carol oates speak, and when she was asked questions, she was incredibly condescending to the people asking the questions and put them down and vaguely dismissed some questions

Susan Huckaby Parsons

Susan Huckaby Parsons The first book I read by JCO was Assignation, a volume of short stories. It was then I realized what writing really could be, and it changed my world. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Mercedes Wittreich- Hashas

Mercedes Wittreich- Hashas "Solstice" was the beginning. I loved her disturbed women. "Black Girl, White Girl" and all that fire and rage. Esp. in "Beasts"

Lor Zevan

Lor Zevan "Blonde" est LE livre. Loin devant la Bible.

Sean

Sean So I walked into a bookstore and found a collection of short stories by one Joyce Carol Oates. The name's familiar, so I pick it up and start reading a story about how a baby is in a car or in a shower being burned to death by steam. Actually, the story's more about trust and psychological issues. But still. It is amazing.

That is the abridged story of how I discovered Joyce Carol Oates. o.O

Amy Costa

Amy Costa hi, i think your works are amazing :) I'm writing a literary essay in my english class about a few of your short stories. Glad I could be a fan!

John Caruso

John Caruso I've always admired and been amazed at how much territory she has covered in the American landscape--in every sense of that word.

Laurie Jenkins Fahy

Laurie Jenkins Fahy A new fan, and I'm so glad to have found her!

Herman P. Wilson

Herman P. Wilson Joyce Carol Oates: one of the greatest contemporary American novelists. You make me think--along with giving me novels that I can read for pure personal enjoyment.
