Joyce Carol Oates, página 4 de 13

Joyce Carol Oates persönlichstes Buch ist eine intime und einschneidende Chronik der sechziger Jahre Amerikas: elitäres Collegeleben und Aufbruch in die sexuelle Freiheit. Oates erzählt mit unvergleichlicher Intensität - unheimlich und packend. Anellia ist jung, neugierig und bereit, sich mitten ins Leben zu stürzen. Schonungslos durchbricht sie die stickige Enge des Frauencolleges. Sie wird gefeuert - ausgesetzt, sie katapultiert sich aus jedem sozialen Gefüge. Doch Vernor fängt sie auf, er ist schwarz, wesentlich älter und Philosophiestudent. Er entführt sie in die Welt abgehobener Gedanken und körperlicher Leidenschaft. Anellia lebt endlich ihr eigenes Leben. Sie wähnt sich in Sicherheit, ihre Kindheit hat sie abgelegt, glaubt sie. Doch dann ein verstörender Anruf: Der längst tot geglaubte Vater liegt im Sterben. Die Reise zu ihm wird zur Entdeckung der eigenen Vergangenheit. Eine bissige Zeitstudie mit doppeltem Boden, ein aufreibendes road movie "der großzügigen, unendlich wissbegierigen und meisterhaften Autorin". Washington Post Book World
