First edition, 1st printing. 397pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "Novelist, poet, critic, and one of America's most brilliant and acclaimed authors of short fiction, Joyce Carol Oates writes stories indelibly stamped with her style. This new collection of 25 recent stories is rich and hard-edged with her inimitable touch: tales with violence . . . or uncertainty . . . or the macabre running like life-blood through them. Always innovative, Joyce Carol Oates's writing is never predictable--except in that it is sure to surprise. [] In the title story 'Heat,' eleven-year-old twin sisters are murdered, and both they and their killer are remembered by a woman who was their contemporary and, in a way, a victim as well. . . In 'Leila Lee,' a chilling tale of hate and desire, a young woman marries an older man and tries to develop a relationship with his angry teenage son--even as she quickly realizes 'within three weeks of her marriage to Lamar Pike that the marriage was probably a mistake.' In 'House Hunting,' a husband perplexed by a disintegrating relationship with his wife goes house-hunting in suburban Philadelphia without her and embarks on a quest, not only for a house, but for his future." [jacket copy] "One of the magical things about Joyce Carol Oates is her ability to constantly reinvent not only the psychological space she inhabits but herself as well, as part of her fiction. She can operate, as a writer, out of a combination of bewilderment and immediate, intuitive understanding--turning to fiction whatever impinges on her life, wherever she chooses to live it."--The Rea Award for the Short Story. "Joyce Carol Oates, quietly, and as part of her ongoing work, has taken an amazing step in fiction."--Carolyn See, Los Angeles Times. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright, intact, Fine As New jacket.
