Fictionary Magazine A TRUE GENRE BENDER JCO ACROSS THE BOARD Joyce Carol Oates is an author whose talent stretches across the restrictive shackles of genre. She has successfully written literary fiction and short stories, only to move on to horror stories and mystery and suspense novels, and in doing so has often blurred the lines between the genres. Here is but a brief sampling of her staggering breadth of writing. Faithless: Tales of Transgression Beasts You Must Remember This – Short-Story Collection – – Novella – – Literary Novel – Don’t be fooled by the title, Faithless is about In a small liberal arts college in the 1970s, The Stevicks are an average, working-class family much more than marital infidelity. The 21 stories a naïve young college girl falls in love with a simply trying to survive the extraordinary 1950s. in this collection cover every type of faith, or professor of poetry and his sculptress wife. Oates weaves McCarthyism, mass paranoia, and lack thereof, imaginable. From faithlessness in As Gillian descends into a gothic world of drugs, political unrest into the Stevicks’ world, following oneself to infidelities to God, these short stories obsession, and a battle for her humanity, fifteen-year-old Enid Maria’s affair with Felix probe the varied ways in which people betray Oates creates a living nightmare for the reader, Stevick, a professional boxer twice her age who one another and themselves. a beautiful and shocking tale of infatuation, happens to be her uncle. An epic family saga that sex, and the need to be noticed. grabs hold of you right from the start, You Must Remember This is one novel you will never forget. Freaky Green Eyes The Faith of a Writer Zombie – YA Mystery Novel – – Nonfiction– – Horror – Freaky Green Eyes is an alter ego that guides Perhaps overqualified to write a book on Winner of the Bram Stoker Award in 1996 and Franky, a fifteen-year-old girl struggling to writing, Oates does so with ease and style. told as a first-person diary, complete with crude realize who she is while growing up with an She celebrates her “first love” authors, the drawings and staccato sentences, Zombie tells the increasingly absent mother and a father thrill of inspiration, and the absolute necessity story of Quentin P., a serial killer intent on creating prone to violence.

This book is essential for air make him almost relatable, sympathetic even, caters to all readers. any writer’s collection. and that is what provides the book’s true terror. Real World: Columbia When Writers Start Getting Real compiled by James Lower / photos by Ian Merritt You know how it goes at all those rooftop fundraisers you go to over the summer, right? Alright, well neither do I. But if we did, there’d be some highly paid, starched-collar professional, a friend of your parents, who asks, “And what is it that you go to school for?” And you reply, “Actually, I’m a writer.” After the requisite, “Ohhhhh,” and a pregnant silence, the pro scoffs and says, “Well, what exactly do you plan to do with that?” Hypothetically, we’d like to grab this person by their collar and spit, “Lay off! I like telling stories!” But over time we’ve realized that even though these people might not be genuinely curious, it’s still a great question. A degree in writing could just be one of the most versatile degrees around in terms of what you can do with it. Just look at our alumni. This is the true story of five alumni who wound up living in Chicago and reporting back on what happens when writers stop being broke ... and start getting real. From public relations to National Public Radio to the high school English classroom. From the freelance hustle to the towers of the Tribune. With an incredible amount of hard work, luck, and patience, this is where your degree can take you: just about anywhere. DREW FERGUSON Writing Department.

  • Joyce Carol Oates 16
    JOYCE CAROL OATES 16. 6. 1938 Americká prozai čka, básní řka, dramati čka a kriti čka Joyce Carol Oatesová se narodila 16. června 1938 v dělnické rodin ě v Lockportu, ve stát ě New York. Její matka Carolina (rozená Bush) byla ženou v domácnosti, otec Frederic James Oates pracoval jako nástroja ř a konstruktér. Joyce byla nejstarší ze t ří d ětí – její bratr Fred junior se narodil v roce 1943 a sestra Lynn Ann v roce 1956 (je postižena autismem). Oatesová byla vychovávána jako katoli čka, nyní je ale ateistkou. D ětství prožila na rodinné farm ě svých prarodi čů nedaleko Erijského jezera blízko kanadských hranic (kraj Erie získal důležité místo v její románové i povídkové tvorb ě, kde ho nazývá „Eden County“). Velký vliv na ni měla babi čka z otcovy strany, Blanche Woodside, která byla vášnivou čtená řkou. Práv ě ona p řivedla Joyce k literatu ře (v ěnovala jí knihu Alenka v říši div ů od Lewise Carrolla, jež na ni hluboce zap ůsobila). Když ve svých čtrnácti letech dostala Joyce od babi čky psací stroj, za čala se v ěnovat psaní. Již v patnácti letech napsala sv ůj první román, vydavatelé ho však odmítli publikovat s tím, že je příliš depresivní. J. C. Oatesová chodila do stejné jednot řídky jako její matka. Poté navšt ěvovala v ětší p řím ěstské školy a následn ě studovala na st řední škole Williamsville South High School, kde pracovala pro školní noviny. Maturitní zkoušku složila v roce 1956. Díky tomu, že získala stipendium, za čala studovat angli čtinu na Syrakuské univerzit ě, kde absolvovala s vyznamenáním roku 1960.

Παπαδάτο Ιωάννη, για την εμπιστοσύνη που έδειξε προς το πρόσωπό μου, για την ουσιαστική βοήθεια που μου προσέφερε με τις συμβουλές και τις υποδείξεις του, για την πολυδιάστατη στήριξη και κατανόηση που μου παρείχε από την αρχή μέχρι την ολοκλήρωση της συγγραφής της εργασίας, καθώς και για τις ώρες που μπόρεσε να αποσπάσει από την εργασία του για να είναι διαθέσιμος στην επικοινωνία μας. Επίσης, εκφράζω τις ευχαριστίες μου στην κα Αναγνωστοπούλου Διαμάντη και στην κα Τσιμπιδάκη Ασημίνα για τη μεταλαμπάδευση των πολύτιμων γνώσεών τους κατά τη διάρκεια των σπουδών μου στο μεταπτυχιακό πρόγραμμα και παράλληλα, για την τιμή που μου έκαναν να συμμετέχουν στην τριμελή επιτροπή επίβλεψης της παρούσας εργασίας. Ακόμη, θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω την οικογένειά μου, τη μητέρα μου, τον παππού και τη γιαγιά μου, για την αγάπη και την στήριξη (ηθική, ψυχολογική και οικονομική) που μου παρείχαν απλόχερα.
