| 520 | 0 | |a "Joyce Carol Oates is an unparalleled investigator of human personality. In these eight stories, she deftly tests the bonds between damaged individuals -- a brother and sister, a teacher and student, two strangers on a subway -- in the fearless prose for which she's become so celebrated. In the title story, "High Crime Area," a white, aspiring professor in Detroit is convinced that she is being followed. She turns to confront her black, male shadow in the campus parking garage, hyperaware of the handgun stowed in her purse -- just in case. But the situation isn't what she expects . . . . In these biting and beautiful pieces, Oates confronts, one by one, the demons within us. In the end, sometimes it's the human who wins, and sometimes it's the demon."--Book jacket. | |
