National Medal of Humanities recipient Joyce Carol Oatess critically acclaimed, nationally bestselling memoir about the unexpected death of her husband of 46 years and its wrenching, surprising aftermath, now in paperback.
Klappentext:
Unlike anything Joyce Carol Oates has written before, A Widow\'s Story is the universally acclaimed author\'s poignant, intimate memoir about the unexpected death of Raymond Smith, her husband of forty-six years, and its wrenching, surprising aftermath. A recent recipient of National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, Oates, whose novels (Blonde, The Gravedigger\'s Daughter, Little Bird of Heaven, etc.) rank among the very finest in contemporary American fiction, offers an achingly personal story of love and loss. A Widow\'s Story is a literary memoir on a par with The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion and Calvin Trillin\'s About Alice.
