A FAIR MAIDEN by Joyce Carol Oates

Joyce Carol Oates is one of the greatest and most prolific writers working today. She is the winner of the National Book Award, the PEN/Malamud Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and more awards than can be fit into this short review. Her recent short novel, A FAIR MAIDEN, is one of her more minor works. Though I call it minor, it is by Joyce Carol Oates and, by any standard, that makes it major.
