Uncensored: Views and (Re)views
I prefer Oates's non-fiction essays and reviews to her fiction (although I haven't given up on the latter). She is thoughtful, fresh, provocative and has turned me to many interesting books and readings. I also like that she does not review books in a negative, sarcastic, or antagonistic way but mainly seems to write about books she finds interesting in order to share her thoughts, which are well worth consideration. She also does not stop with discussing the book, but draws cultural context into her review which makes what she has to say all the more fascinating and insightful, especially to those of us interested in books as reflections of culture and society.
