4.0 out of 5 stars Filled With Despair and Human Angst, May 30, 2009

By

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 100 REVIEWER)   

This review is from: Unholy Loves (Mass Market Paperback)

Like Oates' other works, this one is filled with the despair of human angst - -
of the separate and irreparable alienation with which we must contend in our
eternal search for love and connectedness.

Centered in academia, the story deals with the affairs, fantasies and relation-
ships among university faculty as they fantasize about their relationship with
a guest poet-in-residence.

The novel is well-written and mesmerizing.

This review is from: Unholy Loves (Mass Market Paperback)

this is not a review, but it is a bit hard to find the kindle version of the book (if it doesn't exist, then i'd like to at least have the option to tell the publisher that i would like to have a kindle or ebook edition of the book!).
