´Oates´s imagination is as unique, dystopian and vivid as Lewis Carroll´s´ ROSE TREMAIN
´A master storyteller´ THE TIMES
´Electric´ NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
Zero-sum games are played for lethal stakes in these arresting stories by one of America´s most acclaimed writers.
A brilliant young philosophy student bent on seducing her famous philosopher-mentor finds herself outmaneuvered diabolically clever high school girls wreak a particularly apt sort of vengeance on sexual predators in their community a woman stalked by a would-be killer may be confiding in the wrong former lover a young woman is morbidly obsessed by her unfamiliar new role as mother. In the collection´s longest story, a much-praised cutting-edge writer cruelly experiments with drafts of his own suicide.
In these powerfully wrought stories that hold a mirror up to our time, Joyce Carol Oates has created a world of erotic obsession, thwarted idealism, and ever-shifting identities. Provocative and stunning, Zero-Sum reinforces Oates´s standing as a literary treasure and an artist of the mysterious interior life.
