Sourland: Stories

Oates is a fearless writer.

Los Angeles Times

Oates is a master of the dark tale stories of the hunted and the hunter, of violence, trauma, and deep psychic wounds.

Booklist (starred review)

Sourland is a gripping, haunting, and intensely moving collection of short stories by Joyce Carol Oates, one of America s preeminent authors. Unforgettable tales that re-imagine the meaning of loss often through violent means Sourland is yet another extraordinary read from the literary icon who has previously brought us The Gravedigger s Daughter, Blonde, We Were the Mulvaneys, and numerous other classic works of contemporary fiction.
