Synopsis:
|
This novel is set in an upper-class suburb in the late 1980s--another of Oates's explorations of the underside of the American Dream. This time, we witness the destructive passions that are revealed when a tragic event redefines the relationships among a group of close friends.

Author Bio:
|
The daughter of a tool-and-die designer from upstate New York, Oates was given a typewriter at 14 and never looked back. A famously prolific writer, she typically publishes several novels, short stories, poems and critical articles every year while also maintaining an active teaching career. She attributes her prolific career to regular hours and a love of what she does. Oates's successes began early: she was valedictorian of her class at Syracuse University and then went on to earn an M.A. in English literature at the University of Wisconsin where, in 1961, she met Raymond J. Smith; they were married three months later. She and Smith have since taught at various colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada, including Princeton. Together, they also run the Ontario Review Press, which they founded in 1974. Oates writes in a variety of fiction genres, including a series of suspense novels written under the name Rosamond Smith, as well as some young adult works. She is best known for writing about human evil or people in bizarre and often violent situations, and many of her books reflect her working-class Upstate New York background.
