02.06: Joyce Carol Oates
2015-01-16 00:05:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
Bestselling author Joyce Carol Oates returns with an incendiary new novel that illuminates the tragic impact of sexual violence, racism, brutality, and power on innocent lives and probes the persistence of stereotypes, the nature of revenge, the complexities of truth, and our insatiable hunger for sensationalism. When a 14-year-old girl is the alleged victim of a terrible act of racial violence, the incident shocks and galvanizes her community, exacerbating the racial tension that has been simmering in this New Jersey town for decades. Working at the height of her powers, Oates offers a sympathetic portrait of the young girl and her mother, and challenges our expectations and beliefs about our society, our biases, and ourselves. A chilling exploration of complex social, political, and moral themes, The Sacrifice (Ecco) is a major work from one of our most revered literary masters.
