PerfectBound e-book exclusive: "Dark Work," an interview with Joyce Carol Oates.
Winner of the Frankfurt Distinguished E-Book Award for Fiction (2001).
Library Journal, reviewing the e-book: "Faithless confronts the reader with the fearless, visceral quality of Oates's writing.... The ease with which one clicks through the e-pages gives the collection a [sense of a] ... downward spiral into deeper, darker psyches at once horrifying and mesmerizing.
"Here is the worst of humankind, its shameful secrets, obsessions, and betrayals revealed under the cold glow of the computer screen.... The suspense built up in each story (most carrying a one-word title, e.g., "Ugly," "Lover," "Physical") is compounded by the lack of a tactile sense of how many more pages there are...."
Colin Harrison, The New York Times Book Review: "Faithless makes its brisk incisions into the themes of terror, female passion, collapsing male identity, loneliness, divorce, revenge and not a little gun ownership....
"Again and again she finds new language to describe the immensity of desire.... You are in these stories, Oates is telling us. As ever, and nearly alone in her protean accomplishments, she twists back against our assumptions, seeking always the gristly pop of revelation."
