"Oates, Joyce Carol" Gravedigger's Daughter
HarperLuxe 2007 0739491016 / 9780739491010 Paperback Like New
"Paperback, Like New, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases. Fiction Starred Review. At the beginning of Oates's 36th novel, Rebecca Schwart is mistaken by a seemingly harmless man for another woman, Hazel Jones, on a footpath in 1959 Chatauqua Falls, N. Y. Five hundred pages later, Rebecca will find out that the man who accosted her is a serial killer, and Oates will have exercised, in a manner very difficult to forget, two of her recurring themes: the provisionality of identity and the awful suddenness of male violence. There's plenty of backstory, told in retrospect. Rebecca's parents escape from the Nazis with their two sons in 1936: Rebecca is born in the boat crossing over. When Rebecca is 13, her father, Jacob, a sexton in Milburn, N. Y. , kills her mother, Anna, and nearly kills Rebecca, before blowing his own head off. At the time of the footpath crossing, Rebecca is just weeks away from being beaten, almost to death, by her husband, Niles Tignor (a shady traveling be... ID: mon0000016191"

Joyce Carol Oates The Assignation: Stories
Ecco 1988 0880012005 / 9780880012003 Hardcover Very Good
"'Dust jacket shows some edge rubbing, handling and some scuffing. () In 44 short narratives ranging in length from a simple paragraph of five sentences to a dozen pages at most, Oates has captured precisely an essential presence and instant in the lives of her characters. These short takes offer brilliant bursts of energy that are both dazzling and disappointing for their ephemeral nature. From ''Two Doors,'' in which an old man is reminded of the moment in his youth when he accidently intruded on a half-dressed female relative, to ''Anecdote,'' in which a woman isn't quite convinced that the man who failed to acknowledge her on the street is not her lover, Oates's focus is on moments of consciousness. In ''Tick,'' a woman whose husband has left her is tranquil and self-sufficient, resisting ''the temptation to succumb to thoughts of despair, self-hatred. Easier, she thinks, to hate yourself than to respect yourself: it involves less imagination.'''' ID: mon0000109729"

Joyce Carol Oates The Barrens: A Novel of Suspense
Da Capo Press 2001 0786708476 / 9780786708475 Hardcover Very Good
"First Edition, tight binding, light creasing to Dust Jacket,() One of the most powerful and original voices in contemporary American literature turns her remarkable skills in this new novel to the complex and compelling story of a serial killer and the people his crimes touch, and transform. Matt McBride, a seemingly happily married man, remembers his first victim. He was a boy when the mutilated body of the pretty, popular, outgoing teenager was found in the desolate New Jersey Pine Barrens. Matt's memory of the atrocity haunts him still: he has long felt guilty at not having been able to prevent it, although he'd hardly known the girl. Now another attractive young woman has disappeared. Matt knew this victim, too -- and just possibly he knew her more intimately than he can acknowledge. By degrees Matt becomes obsessed with guilt, and the police view his increasingly erratic behavior with a suspicion that draws official attention away from Name Unknown, an artist of limited talen ID: mon0000111443"
