In Dark Eyes on America, Gavin Cologne-Brookes illuminates the vision of this remarkable master of her craft, finding evidence in her novels of an evolving consciousness that ultimately forgoes abstract introspection in favor of a more practical approach to art as a tool for understanding both personal and social challenges. With her clear-eyed perception of human behavior, Oates has for decades offered unhesitating explorations of genre, topic, and style--making her an inevitable if somewhat elusive subject for critical assessment. Cologne-Brookes's conversations and correspondence with Oates, his close textual study of her novels, and abundant references to her essays, stories, poetry, and plays result in a work that critically synthesizes the layers of her writing. This comprehensive yet accessible study offers an essential analysis of one of the twentieth century's most significant writers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gavin Cologne-Brookes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807135303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGavin Cologne-Brookes is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Novels of William Styron: From Harmony to History\u003c\/i\u003e and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eWriting and America.\u003c\/i\u003e Educated in his native Britain and in the United States, he is an associate professor of English and creative studies at Bath Spa University in England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40161570881651,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_5ac54f6b-b5be-4a0b-912c-32e115f8aaca.jpg?v=1654954881","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/dark-eyes-on-america-the-novels-of-joyce-carol-oates-9780807135303","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
