Jack of Spades - Joyce Carol Oates

2015 The Ontario Review, Inc.

Frontispiece quote:

We stand upon the brink of a precipice.  We peer into the abyss- we grow sick and dizzy.  Our first impulse is to shrink from the danger.  Unaccountably we remain.  
Edgar Allan Poe, "The Imp of the Perverse"

p. 150

It was a small thing, I knew.  It was a chasm. 




1 comment:

  1. Comparing herself to Stephen King, I wonder who's as prolific as either one of them.

    p. 205 "Jack of Spades's writing table" leads me to believe that it should be Oates's writing or Oates's book.
