ストーリー
The title story, inspired by Raymond Carver’s masterpiece, is a provocative portrait of two marriages in which the Holocaust is played out as a devastating parlor game. In the outlandishly dark “Camp Sundown” vigilante justice is undertaken by a group of geriatric campers in a bucolic summer enclave. “Free Fruit for Young Widows” is a small, sharp study in evil, lovingly told by a father to a son. “Sister Hills” chronicles the history of Israel’s settlements from the eve of the Yom Kippur War through the present, a political fable constructed around the tale of two mothers who strike a terrible bargain to save a child.

Dexter County, Maine, and specifically the town of Empire Falls, has seen better days, and for decades, in fact, only a succession from bad to worse. One by one, its logging and textile enterprises have gone belly-up, and the once vast holdings of the Whiting clan (presided over by the last scion’s widow) now mostly amount to decrepit real estate. The working classes, meanwhile, continue to eke out whatever meager promise isn’t already boarded up. Miles Roby gazes over this ruined kingdom from the Empire Grill, an opportunity of his youth that has become the albatross of his life.

あらすじ・解説
From the legendary literary master, winner of the National Book Award and New York Times best-selling author Joyce Carol Oates, a collection of 10 spellbinding stories that maps the eerie darkness within us all.
Insightful, disturbing, and mesmerizing in their lyrical precision, the stories in Lovely, Dark, Deep display Joyce Carol Oates' astonishing ability to make visceral the fear, hurt, and uncertainty that lurks at the edges of ordinary lives.
In "Mastiff," a woman and a man are joined in an erotic bond forged out of terror and gratitude. "Sex with Camel" explores how a 16-year-old boy realizes the depth of his love for his grandmother - and how vulnerable those feelings make him. Fearful that her husband is vanishing from their life, a woman becomes obsessed with keeping him in her sight in "The Disappearing." "A Book of Martyrs" reveals how the end of a pregnancy brings with it the end of a relationship. And in the title story, the elderly Robert Frost is visited by an interviewer, a troubling young woman who seems to know a good deal more about his life than she should.
A piercing and evocative collection, Lovely, Dark, Deep reveals Joyce Carol Oates at her most imaginative and unsettling.

Interesting Having Oates' Stories Together
Certain stories were riveting, and I definitely anticipated the endings. But many I found a bit lackluster, personally.
Still, Joyce Carol Oates is a favorite writer of mine overall, and listening to these reminded me why: she has a way of almost immediately locking you into her characters, and you find yourself invested in them, if nothing else.
I do think they could have picked mire than 2 readers.... for so many stories, their voices, IMO, became tired to listen to.

Definitely Dark and Deep
She lives up to your need for near poetic photo perfect details about life. Scenes which were handled well but were nearly graphic for my vivid imagination.
Well done.

celebrating human imperfection as the life's drama
after watching Joyce Oates speaking on masterclass.com, I was hooked. I believe true literature is an education on humanity and behavior, and Joyce shares a direly needed perspective in this regard.
every man who feels he is a man should read works by Oates. Ignorance invariably leads to prejudice and causes suffering, and I'd laugh at anyone who identifies as a traditional man who tells me that they know women. we live in a unique age where women have an unprecedented level of expression of their experience in society. Why not take the opportunity to expand our horizons and gain a deeper understanding of how our behavior can inflict misery invisible to us?
Plus the book is funny, subtle, insightful, critical, and above all, entertaining.

Didn't make it 2 hours
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I just couldn't follow the story, and the female narrator was grating. She was overly dramatic and spoke with an anxiety producing fake english-american accent of some sort, like she was in a shakespear play. Disappointing, but I just couldn't keep on going.
Has Lovely, Dark, Deep turned you off from other books in this genre?
no
How could the performance have been better?
The female narrator. A more natural speaking voice suits my tastes better.

How could the performance have been better?
the performances were ok
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
not that I can think of, really missing the foundation of beautiful writing
Any additional comments?
