The Lost Landscape by Joyce Carol Oates
A momentous memoir of childhood and adolescence from one of our finest and most beloved writers, as weve never seen her before.‘A compelling and at times mysterious testimony to a life of letters like no other I know’ Richard Ford
‘Every piece merits re-issue … here and there we glimpse the gothic seam Oates has since mined in her fiction’ Suzi Feay, Financial Times
‘The spareness of the prose belies a hinterland of suffering. Steely, lean and bleakly allusive, The Lost Landscape gives an unsettling insight into the ways in which Oates’s writing career has emerged’ Times Literary Supplement
