Joyce Carol Oates is one of the worlds most respected living novelists whose audience has increased significantly with publication of MIDDLE AGE and ILL TAKE YOU THERE. Her new novel brings us a tale of dark passions, prejudice, and the strange forms that love can take.Praise for I’ll Take You There:
‘One of the female frontrunners for the title of Great American Novelist…powerful, fresh and as youthful as if Oates were still writing her first thirsty, clear-sighted book, four decades ago’ Maggie Gee, Sunday Times
‘Oates is a writer of extraordinary strengths…she has dealt consistently with what is probably the great American theme – the quest for the creation of self…Her great subject, naturally, is love.’ Ian Sansom, Guardian
‘Her prose is peerless and her ability to make you think as she re-invents genres is unique. Few writers move so effortlessly from the gothic tale to the psychological thriller to the epic family saga to the lyrical novella. Even fewer authors can so compellingly and entertainingly tell a story.’ Jackie McGlone, Scotland on Sunday
‘A visceral, spiritual portrait of an extraordinary woman growing in self-awareness. Written with an enthralling combination of sensual perception and intellectual seeking….luminously powerful.’ Rosemay Goring, The Herald
