Summary: The Goose Girl....this comment contains a spoiler alert.
Comment: I've read many short stories, including all of the ones in this book, but rarely has a story effected me as "The Goose Girl" did. I really don't know when Ms.Oates wrote this story, but it shows an insightful understanding of what people in the modern world are really like (especially those from the disco 70's up to present day).
One writer (whose name I can't remember) sums this story up perfectly: "A mother is an accomplice, along with her son,in the humiliation of a celebrated beauty."
But the implications here run so much deeper than that.

Summary: Master Stories from a Master Storyteller
Comment: Joyce Carol Oates has really outdone herself with this collection. These stories are wonderful and are Oates at the top of her game. Each story is so well crafted and hauting, she gives you little slices of American life, each one revealing a different aspect of that life. She usually focuses on some seamliness, something dark, something sinister, but manages to keep the stories enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this collection. Oates fans will not be disappointed and for those who are not familiar with her work, it is the perfect introduction.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent!
Comment: This is a superb collection from one of the greatest short-story writers. Stories like 'Handclasp' and 'Mark of Satan' are certainly on par with the best of Oates' more famous stories: 'In the region of Ice' or 'Heat'.
