JOYCE CAROL OATES discusses and signs "Little Bird of Heaven"

Start: Sat, 11/07/2009 - 5:00pm

When a young wife and mother named Zoe Kruller is found brutally murdered, the Sparta police target two primary suspects, her estranged husband, Delray Kruller, and her longtime lover, Eddy Diehl. In turn, the Krullers' son, Aaron, and Eddy Diehl's daughter, Krista, become obsessed with each other, each believing the other's father is guilty.

Told in halves in the very different voices of Krista and Aaron, Little Bird of Heaven is a classic Oates novel in which the lyricism of intense sexual love is intertwined with the anguish of loss, and tenderness is barely distinguishable from cruelty.

Joyce Carol Oates, Professor of Humanities and Creative Writing at Princeton University, has received numerous honors and awards for her work, which includes, fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and plays. She has been called one of the greatest writers of our time.
