Any Joyce Carol Oates fans?

Fascinating interview with her in the New Yorker.

Right now I'm halfway through her latest book 48 Clues into the Disappearance of My Sister , which is weird, very original and a bit disturbing. I'm hooked.

I just ordered "Black Water," and "Invisible Writer," after reading about them in the article. There's so much JCO!

I think "weird, very original and a bit disturbing," describes my feelings about her writing as well. She's one of a kind.

I'm hooked, too!
