| | Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938) |
 | | Oates is not only an avid student of literature and reader of history, psychology, and philosophy; she is a keen interpreter of the contemporary scene, concerned in her work with issues relevant to most modern readers. | | | While Oates has been variously compared and contrasted with Eudora Welty, William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, and even Theodore Dreiser, one of the more interesting writers with whom she might be compared is Flannery O'Connor. | | | Interestingly, among her "imitations" and allusive fictions, Oates has tested almost every major literary school or set of conventions: naturalism, existentialism, social realism, detective stories, epic chronicle, romance. |

| | Featured Author: Joyce Carol Oates |
| | "[Oates is] very far from being a 'great' writer, as the dust jacket of her latest book of stories announces, and may never come close to being as good as she might be if all she goes on hearing is praise." | | | As part of a series of essays in which authors discuss literary themes, Joyce Carol Oates writes that when running, "the mind flies with the body; the mysterious efflorescence of language seems to pulse in the brain." | | | "'Angel of Light' may be another chapter in Joyce Carol Oates's ongoing exercise of the imagination, but it is also a strong and fascinating novel on its own terms. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Joyce Carol Oates |
| | In Unholy Loves (1979), Oates focuses autobiographically – and with a good deal of social realism – on a female professor and novelist who confronts her dissatisfactions with the academic milieu and struggles to find a workable and agreeable balance among the contending elements of her life. | | | Changing pace dramatically, in Middle Age: A Romance (2001), Oates rather quietly – at least for her – explores the effects of a middle-aged man’s tragic death on his friends, who are forced to confront the inevitability of their own mortality and to reconsider how they will use the years that remain to them. | | | In You Must Remember This (1987), Oates energetically combines the multi-generational family saga with the sort of erotic chronicle that Henry Miller and Frank Harris defined and that John Updike updated in Couples. |
