In twenty-nine provocative essays, Joyce Carol Oates maps the rough coun¬
try that is both the treacherous geographical and psychological terrain of
the writers she so cogently analyzes—Flannery O Connor, Cormac McCarthy,
Philip Roth, E. L. Doctorow, and Margaret Atwood, among others—and the emo¬
tional terrain of Oates s own life following the unexpected death of her husband,
Raymond Smith, after forty-eight years of marriage.
As literature is a traditional solace to the bereft, so writing about literature
can be a solace, as it was to me when the effort of writing fiction seemed beyond
me, as if belonging to another lifetime, Oates writes. Reading and taking notes,
especially late at night when I can t sleep, has been the solace, for me, that saying
the Rosary or reading The Book of Common Prayer might be for another. The
results of those meditations are the essays of In Rough Country—balanced and
illuminating investigations that demonstrate an artist working at the top of
her form.
JOYCE CAROL OATES is a recipient of the
2010
National Book Critics Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, the
National Book Award, and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence
in Short Fiction. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of
our time, including the national bestseller Blonde^ which was nominated for the
National Book Award. She is Professor of Humanities at Princeton University.
