This study is an analysis of the novels Black Water (1992), Blonde
(2000), and My Sister, My Love (2008) by Joyce Carol Oates. Based
on real-life characters (Mary Jo Kopechne, Marilyn Monroe, JonBenet
Ramsey), these works blend fact and fiction, historical and poetic
truth, and create a new way to recount facts that allow the writer
to give a new voice to people who cannot speak for themselves
anymore. The present book addresses the stories behind the novels,
their genre and stylistic features, but is also an exploration of
several aspects of American culture and society and their issues
connected to consumerism, the cult of beauty and celebrity, and how
they affect American women's lives and power relations with men.
