<strong>'Oates's imagination is as unique, dystopian and vivid as Lewis Carroll's'</strong> ROSE TREMAIN <p><strong>'A master storyteller' </strong> <em>THE TIMES</em></p> <p><strong>'Electric' </strong> <em>NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW</em></p> <p><strong>Zero-sum games are played for lethal stakes in these arresting stories by one of America's most acclaimed writers.</strong></p> <p>A brilliant young philosophy student bent on seducing her famous philosopher-mentor finds herself outmaneuvered; diabolically clever high school girls wreak a particularly apt sort of vengeance on sexual predators in their community; a woman stalked by a would-be killer may be confiding in the wrong former lover; a young woman is morbidly obsessed by her unfamiliar new role as "mother." In the collection's longest story, a much-praised cutting-edge writer cruelly experiments with "drafts" of his own suicide.</p> <p>In these powerfully wrought stories that hold a mirror up to our time, Joyce Carol Oates has created a world of erotic obsession, thwarted idealism, and ever-shifting identities. Provocative and stunning, <em>Zero-Sum</em> reinforces Oates's standing as a literary treasure and an artist of the mysterious interior life.</p> <p><strong>'Alluringly dark and spiky' </strong> <em>NEW STATESMAN</em></p> <p><strong>'<em>Zero-Sum</em> is brilliant - bloodied, breathless, weird'</strong> A. K. BLAKEMORE</p> <p><strong>'Dark, unsettling stories ... There's a disquieting violence simmering ... a shrill alarm of disquiet' </strong> <em>DAILY MAIL</em></p> <p><strong>'Oates is an inspired writer, and a formidable psychologist' </strong> <em>INDEPENDENT</em></p>
