Report

Praise for 'Mudwoman':
'Oates is the most agile and effective of poets, able to pin down a moment while never compromising on pacing or atmosphere ... Oates is a dangerous writer in the best sense of the word, one who takes risks almost obsessively with energy and relish. For a writer in her early 70s, she continues to be wonderfully, unnervingly anarchic, experimental, angry. As if her aim were not to satisfy or entertain - though she always does both - but to do the vandalistic prose equivalent of spray-painting or setting fire to bins in public parks.' New York Times
'There is no mistaking a Joyce Carol Oates story for anyone else's... Not just their virtuosity, but also their aura of menace makes them hers... We think of Oates, like Poe, as a master of terror, but her real mastery is in almost never depicting a strong emotion in isolation... Oates [is]... a fearless experimenter forcing the reader ahead of her at knifepoint' Los Angeles Times
