Dark Eyes on America

Resumen del libro

Dark Eyes on America illuminates the vision of one of Americas most extraordinary and prolific woman of letters, Joyce Carol Oates. In this remarkable study, the author discovers in her novels an evolving consciousness that ultimately forgoes abstract introspection in favor of a more practical approach to art as a tool for understanding both personal and social challenges. Cologne-Brookess conversations and correspondence with Oates combined with his close textual study of her novels and abundant references to her writings result in an exceptional work, critically synthesizing the layers of her writing.
