" Oates is a fearless writer."

"Oates is a master of the dark tale--stories of the hunted and the hunter, of violence, trauma, and deep psychic wounds."

--Booklist (starred review)

Sourland is a gripping, haunting, and intensely moving collection of short stories by Joyce Carol Oates, one of America's preeminent authors. Unforgettable tales that re-imagine the meaning of loss--often through violent means--Sourland is yet another extraordinary read from the literary icon who has previously brought us * The Gravedigger's Daughter, Blonde, We Were the Mulvaneys,* and numerous other classic works of contemporary fiction.
