She’s the best. Her writing, her dialogue, her willingness to explore the dark nature of human relationships and then push it into the unreal. J.C. Oates is just top notch.
I went on a Oates frenzy after that initial post and read the following when I got home:
-Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? (again)
-Ghost Girls
-Nairobi
The second is not quite as suspenseful as the first and the third is less allegorical, but all three are great. I’ve also finally started We Were the Mulvaneys.
Jeez. Is an author crush a real thing?
