The dust jacket is crisp and clean. "Josie S has come with her mother Delia to live in her great-aunt Esther Burkhardt's house in upstate New York. Also living there is Josie's cousin, Jared Jr, on leave from the Presbyterian seminary. Preoccupied with his studies, impeccibly dressed in his starched white shirts, distant and mysterious, Jared Jr. Is an intriguing figure to Josie's curious and impressionable young mind." "Oates writes in longhand, working from "8 till 1 every day, then again for two or three hours in the evening." Her prolificacy has become one of her best-known attributes, although often discussed disparagingly. The New York Times wrote in 1989 that Oates's "name is synonymous with productivity", and in 2004, The Guardian noted that "Nearly every review of an Oates book, it seems, begins with a list [of the number of books she has published]". In a journal entry written in the 1970s, Oates sarcastically addressed her critics, writing, "So many books! So many! Obviously JCO has a full career behind her, if one chooses to look at it that way; many more titles and she might as well... What? ...give up all hopes for a 'reputation'? […] but I work hard, and long, and as the hours roll by I seem to create more than I anticipate; more, certainly, than the literary world allows for a 'serious' writer. Yet I have more stories to tell, and more novels […] "". Fine in Fine dust jacket .
