Description: "The Gravedigger's Daughter is Joyce Carol Oates at her very best: mesmerizing, intense and unique in her vision and power." - Scott Turow "An illuminating critique of media madness and all the shallowness that makes it go." - Seattle Times "Employing her powerful imagination, the gifted Oates gets inside her fictional characters' tormented souls to solve the case...as a literary exercise, it deserves a rave...she brilliantly depicts status-obsessed parents who alternately push and ignore their deeply unhappy children." - USA Today "My Sister, My Love is a nuanced, literate story. It is also a crack cultural attack on a society that puffs up self-involvement, self-love, and an addiction to constant attention." - Cleveland Plain Dealer "Oates is in top form as she creates a narrative voice that is bitter and humorous yet sympathetic, building to a dramatic and satisfying resolution." - Library Journal "Joyce Carol Oates is one of the great writers of our time." - John Gardner "Oates is just a fearless writer...[with] her brave heart and her impossibly lush and dead-on imaginative powers." - Los Angeles Times "Joyce Carol Oates's uncompromising prose illuminates the stark landscape of our times." - Chicago Tribune "...a writer of furious gifts..." - New Jersey Star Ledger "...This book is easy to admire... my reaction was..."Wow: What a writer."" - Seattle Times "...Oates confidently delivers another very American saga of lurid misfortune." - Entertainment Weekly
