To keep up with the career of this gifted, Gothic, hugely prolific writer is almost a career in itself. Frequently releasing two new books a year, each as darkly compelling as the last, Joyce Carol Oates has become a major figure in contemporary literature, and she’s done it all by writing in longhand for hours a day. Her work has taken the form of novels, short stories, plays, poems and essays, and spans a number of genres and settings—from the slums of Detroit to the rural reaches of upstate New York—but consistently contains an undercurrent of violence and sexual turmoil. A longtime fixture at Princeton University, Oates numbers among her books We Were the Mulvaneys (an Oprah pick), The Gravedigger’s Daughter, On Boxing, and My Sister, My Love.
