VJ Books presents Joyce Carol Oates!

Joyce Carol Oates, born June 16, 1938, is a recipient of the National Book Award and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction. Oates published her first book in 1963 and has since published over fifty novels, as well as many volumes of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction. Her novel them (1969) won the National Book Award, and her novels Black Water (1992), What I Lived For (1994), and Blonde (2000) were nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

With a reputation for prolificity, for creating compelling, complex characters and not least finding their distinctive voices, Oates has been one of the leading U.S. novelists since the 1960s. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys and Blonde (a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize), and the New York Times bestsellers The Falls (winner of the 2005 Prix Femina Etranger) and The Gravedigger’s Daughter. Oates has also written under the pseudonyms "Rosamond Smith" and "Lauren Kelly".

She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Princeton University and has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1978. In 2003 she received the Common Wealth Award for Distinguished Service in Literature and The Kenyon Review Award for Literary Achievement, and in 2006 she received the Chicago Tribune Lifetime Achievement Award.
