Joyce Carol Oates, born in 1938, is an American writer. Oates wrote that "this is a history in fictional form---that is, in personal perspective, which is the only kind of history that exists. . . It was during this period that I met the "Maureen Wendall" of this narrrative." In a 'Special Message' to subscribers: Oates wrote: "Who are these people?---Loretta and her children, Julies and Maureen, and to a lesser extent their father, their stepfather, their uncle Brock, their lost sister Betty, their young brother Randolph? They are Americans---neither improverished enough to be italicized against the prodigous wealth of their culture, nor affluent enough to be comfortably assimilated into it. . . Of course, I lived in Detroit at the time of the 1967 riots, and was shaken by the experience, and brooded upon it, like most Detroiters, and came to see that the genesis of those specific acts of violence lay far in the past and were certainly not limited to one troubled city. Maureen, like Jules, is a composite character---students who told her their family history. 601 pages. I offer combined shipping.
