I should probably explain that I'm a HUGE fan of her writing. I taught
Them at Miami University one semester (English Literature). We explored the historical underpinnings present in the novel, as well as the authorial tone she utilizes to develop her thesis, using as a basis for our examination primarily Reader Response Criticism and Socio/Historical criticism. That was one of five novels I taught that semester. (The other four were not by Oates.)
All the books you mention I have read and own in ebook format AND in hardback first editions. I have over 80 different books by her, including her mystery novels written under the name of
Rosamond Smith, in addition to her literary criticism and essayistic work.
As you know, she writes in many genres.
I love her writing and wait for the day when her gothic novel
Bellefleur is available as an ebook from Connect. What an incredible book!
It's nice to know there's another fan of her writing here on MobileRead.
