5.0 out of 5 stars Area Man Found Crucified, June 7, 2000
By 
This review is from: Where Is Here (Paperback)
One of the nation's most talented writers is without a doubt, Joyce Carol Oates. This particular collection of short stories is a true pleasure to read. I have read "Area Man Found Crucified" and "Lethal" aloud to several of my friends. Her prose reads much like poetry to me. I find Joyce's ability to find her way into the dark underbelly of the human psyche astounding. Reading Joyce's work is not much unlike having the opportunity to talk with those people you normally only see in passing on the subway or driving through downtown. The best part is that this approach is much safer, and plausibly more enjoyable.

Even if one is unable to purchase this book due to lack of availability, he or she should seek it out in libraries. Her writings have changed the way I think about short story forever.
