Joyce Carol Oates has so convincingly written through the voice of a killer, you will feel nervous while reading at how familiar, how human, he is. Part of how she achieves the effect is through sparing use of bizarre capitalization (e.g., "MOON" and "FRAGMENT") and crude drawings done with a felt-tip pen. But the language is what makes it come alive, as in such weird statements as "My whole body is a numb tongue." This book was winner of the 1996 Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel.]]> 3524 3.53 37158 4598 1995 3 0 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1994 Sat Jul 18 16:51:38 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 16:51:55 -0700 2009
