http://www.salon.com/06/departments/litchat.html
J oyce Carol Oates, the prolific novelist, playwright, poet and critic, has never been afraid to explore the darker side of the human psyche. At a recent interview at San Francisco's City Arts and Lecture Series, she talked about her most recent novel, "Zombie," which is told from the perspective of a serial sex killer. A collection of her short stories, "Will You Always Love Me and Other Stories," will be published by Dutton in February. Was it difficult for you as a writer to imagine the voice of a serial killer? How were you able to do this so effectively? Earlier I had envisioned the serial killer standing in front of an audience, and it would be like a theatrical, dramatic monologue. The human voice, and the ways in which the human being expresses him or herself in the theatrical setting, is very interesting to me. Often people standing in front of an audience say things and reveal things about themselves that they would never even dream of revealing in a more intimate situation. Nor would they think of these things if they were alone. There's some strange perhaps it's an atavistic response, maybe it's not understood at all. I don't have any problem with that. Most of the difficulty I have is with the form. To find the sentence, the unit of speech, and how long or how short should the chapter be. Should the novel be in three parts or two parts? Should it have an epilogue and a prologue? All my work is very architecturally structured.

The children lived in isolation in a parsonage high on the Yorkshire moors, which is to say, at the edge of the world; each was possessed of an extraordinarily fecund imagination; the wooden soldiers soon acquired life and identities (among them the Duke of Wellington and Bonaparte).

A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
from Greg Johnson's
A Reader's Guide to the Recent Novels of Joyce Carol Oates
(printed by permission) Joyce Carol Oates has often expressed an intense nostalgia for the time and place of her childhood, and her working-class upbringing is lovingly recalled in much of her fiction. Yet she has also admitted that the rural, rough-and-tumble surroundings of her early years involved "a daily scramble for existence." Growing up in the countryside outside of Lockport, New York , she attended a one-room schoolhouse in the elementary grades. As a small child, she told stories instinctively by way of drawing and painting before learning how to write. After receiving the gift of a typewriter at age fourteen, she began consciously training herself, "writing novel after novel" throughout high school and college.
Success came early: while attending Syracuse University on scholarship, she won the coveted Mademoiselle fiction contest. After graduating as valedictorian, she earned an M.A. in English at the University of Wisconsin, where she met and married Raymond J. Smith after a three-month courtship; in 1962, the couple settled in Detroit, a city whose erupting social tensions suggested to Oates a microcosm of the violent American reality. Her finest early novel, them , along with a steady stream of other novels and short stories, grew out of her Detroit experience. "Detroit, my 'great' subject," she has written, "made me the person I am, consequently the writer I am—for better of worse."

28. JOYCE CAROL OATES : ON STEPHEN KING
Transcript from joyce carol oates' introduction to Stephen King prior to his first reading at Princeton University.
http://storm.usfca.edu/~southerr/king.html
On April 16, 1997, Joyce Carol Oates introduced Stephen King on the occasion of his first reading at Princeton University
It's my pleasure, and an honor, to be introducing Stephen King on his first visit to Princeton.
It's commonly said that certain individuals, notably the famous, need no introductions. On the contrary, I think, it's precisely those whom we imagine we know, in broad stereotypical terms, who require introductions.
There are: Stephen King the individual, Stephen King the literary/cultural phenomenon, and Stephen King the writer.
Salem's Lot, Dolores Claiborne, Carrie, in 1973. At the time he was working in a laundry (See "The Mangler") for $1.60 an hour. ...Since then, Stephen's hourly wages have risen considerably.
In his richly informative study of the horror genre in America, Danse Macabre (1980), Stephen King isolates an hour in 1957 when, as he sat in an audience of excited young people in a movie house showing "Earth vs. The Flying Saucers," the film was interrupted and the house manager made an announcement that the Russians had put a space satellite in orbit around the earth, called Sputnik. "We sat there," King says, "in absolute tomblike silence." This sudden terrifying intrusion of a world of adult political drama and potential doom, in the midst of science-fiction fantasy, made a powerful impression upon the 10-year-old Stephen King.
The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass Carrie (a Gothic tale of familial and societal revenge)

Narcissi
Lawrence said in Apocalypse that when he heard people complain of being lonely he knew their affliction: ". . . they have lost the Cosmos." It is easy to agree with Lawrence, but less easy to understand what he means. Yet if there is a way of approaching Plath's tragedy, it is only through an analysis of what Plath lost and what she was half-conscious of having lost: I am solitary as grass. What is it I miss? Shall I ever find it, whatever it is? ("Three Women") We must take this loss as a real one, not a rhetorical echoing of other poets' cries; not a yearning that can be dismissed by the robust and simple-minded among us who like that formidably healthy and impossible Emerson, sought to dismiss the young people of his day "diseased" with problems of original sin, evil, predestination, and the like by contemptuously diagnosing their worries as "the soul's mumps, and measles, and whooping-coughs" ("Spiritual Laws"). Emerson possessed a consciousness of such fluidity and explorative intelligence that any loss of the cosmos for him could seem nothing more serious than an adolescent's perverse rebelliousness, at its most profound a doubt to be answered with a few words.

'Softcore'
Joyce Carol Oates
A tale of sibling rivalry: They were two sisters of youthful middle age with three breasts between them and a history that might be summed up as much left unsaid. 'Why are you showing me these?' 'I thought you should know.' 'Should know what?' They were two sisters of youthful middle age with three breasts between them and a history that might be summed up as much left unsaid . Maggie, the elder, who'd had a mastectomy eighteen months before, rarely alluded to the fact in her younger sister's company and spoke with an air of startled reproach if Esther brought up the subject of her health; as if Maggie's breast cancer were a symptom of a moral weakness, a deficiency of character, about which Esther had no right to know. Eighteen months before, after the removal of Maggie's left breast, Esther had driven 370 miles to see her sister and was immediately rebuffed by Maggie's steely good humour, just as, when they were girls, she'd been outplayed on the tennis court by Maggie's remarkable cannon-ball serves and vicious returns. In her hospital bed, in the presence of Maggie's husband Dwight, Maggie had assured Esther, indicating the bulky-bandaged left side of her chest, 'Hey, sweetie, don't look like a funeral. It's no great loss, I wasn't planning on using it again.' 'Was this funny? Esther had managed to smile, weakly.
