| | JOYCE CAROL OATES: FOXFIRE: CONFESSIONS OF A GIRL GANG (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | The place is a blue-collar town in upstate New York, where five high school girls are joined in a gang dedicated to pride, power, and vengeance on a world they never madea world that seems made to denigrate and destroy them. |
 | | Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang is very much a girls' story, and, as such, defines itself in sometimes playful but more often uneasy opposition to a male- and adult-dominated world. |
 | | Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang, like my earlier novels Marya: A Life, You Must Remember This, and Because It Is Bitter, And Because It Is My Heart, had its emotional genesis in powerful memories of a girlhood in upstate New York. |
