Title: first taste of joyce carol oates
Review: wow. i have heard so many good things about oates. it is no wonder why she wrote this under a pseudonym. what a turd. the protagonist was so unbelievable. the writing was confusing. who is this guy? who cares? after nine years of marriage he figures out he shouldn't be married...so he obsesses over dead girls. how goth! he finds out one is in "love" with him while never meeting him for more than 10 minutes. she dies so he chases and catches her twin sister. wtf? can't have the dead one may as well fall in love with a completely different person who looks like her.finally, and yet another stereotyping of visual artists. socially inept or sociopaths. really?? i expect this from bad tv sitcoms but not from an acclaimed writer. one artist: just plain of nuts--and a serial killer to boot, another: a womanizer who abuses girlfriends, another-the protagonist--need i say more...., yet another---bi-sexual-sleazy-wacky. and people give stig larsson grief?
