New York Times bestselling author Joyce Carol Oates' imaginative look
at the last days of five giants of American literature, now available in
a deluxe paperback edition in Ecco's The Art of the Story Series.
Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Samuel Clemens ("Mark Twain"), Henry
James, Ernest Hemingway--Joyce Carol Oates evokes each of these American
literary icons in this work of prose fiction, poignantly and audaciously
reinventing the climactic events of their lives. In subtly nuanced
language suggestive of each of these writers, Oates explores the
mysterious regions of the unknowable self that is "genius."
Darkly hilarious, brilliant, and brazen, Wild Nights! is an original
and haunting work of the imagination.
