Intricate Psychological Tales

Oates' darkest collection and probably her best. These stories range in setting from 1880's Cambridge, Massachusetts, to 1970's California and are concerned with the "night side" of human cogitation. What are we all truthfully deep down inside? DO we know ourselves? Is the side we think we live in day after day, the conscious side, truly our dominant hemisphere? Not one bad story here and several that rank among the best in modern literature. Though not by any means a horror writer, Oates comes within a whisker of that genre a few times in this book.
