About This Item
New York: The Ecco Press, 1988. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A VERY ATTRACTIVE BOOK. In forty-four very short, very powerful stories, Joyce Carol Oates fashions brief, intensely compact dramas out of the unwieldy material of human experience. The stories in The Assignation are infused with a "radiant intensity," wrote James Atlas in the New York Times Book Review, and they convey the depth and scope of a novel in a few charged pages. The Assignation is an electric display of the talents that make Joyce Carol Oates one of our finest short story writers. "If the phrase 'woman of letters' existed, she would be, foremost in this country, entitled to it."--John Updike.
