From literary icon Joyce Carol Oates, author of Blonde, now a major
motion picture, comes a brand new collection of haunting and, at
times, darkly humorous mystery and suspense stories. These are
tales of psyches pushed to their limits by the expectations of
everyday life - from a woman who gets lost on her drive back to her
plush suburban home and ends up breaking into a stranger's house,
to a first-person account of a cloned 1940s magazine pinup girl
being sold at auction and embodying America's ideals of beauty and
womanhood. Taken as a whole, the collection forms a poignant
tapestry of regular people searching for their place in a social
hierarchy, often with devastating and disastrous results. Rendered
with stylish, fresh writing from an author who continues to push
the envelope, the stories deftly weave in and out of a
stream-of-consciousness to reflect the ways we process traumatic
experiences and impart that uncertainty and uneasiness to the
reader. The stories comprising Night, Neon showcase Oates' mastery
of the suspense story and her relentless use of the form to conduct
unapologetically honest explorations of American identity.
'Embracing the twists and turns of everyday American life, the
author's latest short story collection is playful, gripping and
disturbing.' Guardian Reviews for Joyce Carol Oates: 'Oates
chillingly depicts the darkness lurking within the everyday.'
Sunday Express 'Both haunting and sublime.' Literary Review
'Splendidly chilling.' Financial Times 'Visceral, psychologically
involving, and socially astute.' Booklist
