β¦ Synopsis
Zero-sum games are played for lethal stakes in these arresting stories by one of Americaβs most acclaimed writers, the award-winning, best-selling author of Blonde
A brilliant young philosophy student bent on seducing her famous philosopher-mentor finds herself outmaneuvered; diabolically clever high school girls wreak a particularly apt sort of vengeance on sexual predators in their community; a woman stalked by a would-be killer may be confiding in the wrong former lover; a young woman is morbidly obsessed by her unfamiliar new role as βmother.β In the collectionβs longest story, a much-praised cutting-edge writer cruelly experiments with βdraftsβ of his own suicide.
In these powerfully wrought stories that hold a mirror up to our time, Joyce Carol Oates has created a world of erotic obsession, thwarted idealism, and ever-shifting identities. Provocative and stunning, Zero-Sum reinforces Oatesβs standing as a literary treasure and an artist of the mysterious interior life...M.F
