American Appetites | Joyce Carol Oates

Congrats @MatchlessMarie & thanks for the #1KGiveaway!

I confess to the following literary sins:
1. I often dog-ear library book pages.
2. Author Joyce Carol Oates once put me down in a public reading & talk for asking a "dumb" question. (Haven't read her since.)
4. I buy the fiction & mystery books for my library, but I'm increasingly drawn to nonfic for my personal reading, and find a fair amount of pop fiction boring.

TrishB Ouch to number 2 - I probably wouldn‘t read again either! 7y
MatchlessMarie Rude! (Number 2) I end up reading more nonfiction too! 7y

American Appetites sharply critiques the lives of the affluent and the criminal justice system in equal measure. Joyce Carol Oates suggests a no-win situation when the state takes interest in questions of life and death in the family.
