Zero-Sum

Popis:

`Oates`s imagination is as unique, dystopian and vivid as Lewis Carroll`s` Rose Tremain Zero-sum games are played for lethal stakes in these arresting stories by one of America`s most acclaimed writers. A brilliant young philosophy student bent on seducing her famous philosopher-mentor finds herself outmaneuvered; diabolically clever high school girls wreak a particularly apt sort of vengeance on sexual predators in their community; a woman stalked by a would-be killer may be confiding in the wrong former lover; a young woman is morbidly obsessed by her unfamiliar new role as "mother." In the collection`s longest story, a much-praised cutting-edge writer cruelly experiments with "drafts" of his own suicide. In these powerfully wrought stories that hold a mirror up to our time, Joyce Carol Oates has created a world of erotic obsession, thwarted idealism, and ever-shifting identities. Provocative and stunning, Zero-Sum reinforces Oates`s standing as a literary treasure and an artist of the mysterious interior life. `A master storyteller` The Times `Feminist horror runs through Joyce Carol Oates`s latest collection ... Electric` New York Times `Alluringly dark and spiky` New Statesman `Zero-Sum is brilliant - bloodied, breathless, weird` A. K. Blakemore, author of The Manningtree Witches `Dark, unsettling stories ... There`s a disquieting violence simmering ... a shrill alarm of disquiet` Daily Mail `Oates is an inspired writer, and a formidable psychologist` Independent
