&;[Oates] has once again held a haunting mirror up to America, revealing who we are.&;
&;Boston Globe
 
The inimitable Joyce Carol Oates returns with Dear Husband&;a gripping and moving story collection that powerfully re-imagines the meaning of family in America, often through violent means. Oates, a former recipient of the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction&;as well as the National Book Award, Prix Femina, and numerous other literary honors&;dazzles and disturbs with an outstanding compilation the Washington Post calls, &;Savage, poetic and ruthless...among the best things she&;s ever done.&; Dear Husband is another triumph for the author of The Gravedigger&;s Daughter, We Were the Mulvaneys, and Blonde.
