Author: Joyce Carol Oates
Title: Wild Nights!: Stories About the Last Days of Poe, Dickinson, Twain, James, and Hemingway (P.S.)
Description: HarperPerennial 2009 Paperback, 272pp. Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Samuel Clemens ('Mark Twain'), Henry James, Ernest Hemingway—Joyce Carol Oates evokes each of these American literary icons in her newest work of prose fiction, poignantly and audaciously reinventing the climactic events of their lives. In subtly nuanced language suggestive of each of these writers, Oates explores the mysterious regions of the unknowable self that is 'genius.' Darkly hilarious, brilliant, and brazen, Wild Nights! is Joyce Carol Oates's most original and haunting work of the imagination. (ISBN: 9780061434822). Very Good.
