'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?': Joyce Carol Oates (Women Writers: Texts and Contexts) Paperback – 1 Nov. 1994

I thought it was interesting in youch with today's generation of teenagers and I was espeically interested in the way music was interperted in this story.

He comprado este libro para el curso de inglés. Tiene un CD con las historias grabadas. Todo bien y correcto.

I bought this book for my literature class - it was excellent, my first time reading Oates and I most definately recommend her if you are interested in literature (or even if you're not - the background of her short story is interesting - based on a real-life serial killer in Arizona). The critical essays in the back of the book are invaluable, so if you are looking to write a research paper this is a fanstastic purchase!

Todo räpido y eficaz. Antes de lo que esperaba. Volvere al mismo lugar a comprar. sin duda alguna lo hare

There must be a lot of people, who became Oates'fans after they read "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" Typically, Teenagers tend to disobey adults like their parents and teachers and to be self-centered. Heroine Connie is such a girl. Connie's charactor will arouse sympathy from readers. There must be many points that we used to think and behave like her when we were teenagers. Connie is a self-centered girl. She is not chummy with her family and always resists her mother. She does not go to a church, does not help her mother, is not interested in family matters, and looks down on people. She cares her appearance, hangs out with her friends, likes shopping, and listens to rock'n rolls. She is, so-called, a typical rebellious teenager. One day, a mysterious guy shows up and causes something wired for her. Joyce Carol Oates, the author of this novel, has been recieved many awards. This work was made into the movie, retitled for "Smooth Talk." This book will attract you and is worth reading. I think you will like it.

Just compare Ms Oates with any other story writer: she started her career early, age 19, and keeps going on and on and on.... through novels and articles and more more stories. Arnold Friend is an unforgettable character. The vendor: a used book my copy precisely matched the description. I've just ordered another collection of Oates' work. If you don't know her work, start with this earliest collection. You won't be sorry. Not many writing craftspersons were creating what she was creating, at such a level of excellence, as a teenager.
