A Widow's Story

Unlike anything Joyce Carol Oates has written before, A Widow''s Story is the universally acclaimed author''s poignant, intimate memoir about the unexpected death of Raymond Smith, her husband of forty-six years, and its wrenching, surprising aftermath. A recent recipient of National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, Oates, whose novels ( Blonde , The Gravedigger''s Daughter , Little Bird of Heaven , etc.) rank among the very finest in contemporary American fiction, offers an achingly personal story of love and loss. A Widow''s Story is a literary memoir on a par with The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion and Calvin Trillin''s About Alice .
