Granted privileged access to Joyce Carol Oates's letters and journals, as well as extensive interviews with family, friends, colleagues, and Oates herself, biographer Greg Johnson examines the relationship between Oates's life and work in this fascinating exploration of a complex and gifted artist. Johnson reveals little-known facts about Oates's personal and family history and debunks many of the myths that have arisen about this brilliant, enigmatic woman. Johnson takes readers from Oates's impoverished childhood in upstate New York and the birth of her autistic sister through Oates's studies at Syracuse University, where her talent was immediately recognized, to the full breadth of her astonishingly productive career. His astute examination of Oates's novels, short stories, and plays demonstrates how her art has been informed by her life.

Every few years I reread this book of our preeminent living American writer--Joyce Carol Oates. I know, some people would put Roth up for this, but not me. I started with those early collections--Upon the Sweeping flood, By the North Gate, Wheel of Love, Marriages and Infidelities, in falling-apart Fawcett paperback editions, dotted with my mother's home hair dye... when I was learning to write, these were the stories I returned to, time and again. what emotional extremes! Then came the early novels, Garden of Earthly Delights, and them... The Gothic, long sentence American fiction that's a direct line from Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor... wonderful to go back through her development and early years, the successes of earthly delights and the National Book Award for them... Her sheer productivity seems to have somehow kicked her out of the running as our greatest living literary genius. CRazy. What a pleasure to trace the interplay of this life and the life of her fiction.
