	Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
		Oates also calls herself a "feminist" although she does not like the restrictive title of "woman writer"; rather, she prefers being described as a woman who writes.
		Oates is not only an avid student of literature and reader of history, psychology, and philosophy; she is a keen interpreter of the contemporary scene, concerned in her work with issues relevant to most modern readers.
		While Oates has been variously compared and contrasted with Eudora Welty, William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, and even Theodore Dreiser, one of the more interesting writers with whom she might be compared is Flannery O'Connor.

		Samtidigt är Joyce Carol Oates mån om och ytterst medveten i sin redan nämnda ambition att i sina romanerna fånga in inte enbart personer eller enskilda individer, utan strävar ständigt och envist efter att genom sina romangestalter belysa avsevärt större sammanhang, ge sin syn på såväl mänskligt psykologiska som samhälleliga samband.
		Joyce Carol Oates har en förmåga att alltid försöka finna och visa på de strimmor av hopp, av möjligheter och chanser som trots allt ändå finns där mitt i den bedövande vardagens grymheter och dess desillusionerande mörker.

		In her Author's Note, Joyce Carol Oates explains that Blonde is "a radically distilled 'life' in the form of fiction," not a biography of Norma Jean Baker, a.k.a.
		Opening the book with Norma Jean's early years, Joyce Carol Oates draws a vivid portrait of a child's painful relationship with her mentally ill mother, Gladys, and her longing for a missing father.
		Yet while acknowledging the art of acting, Oates blasts the cold, destructive beast called Hollywood, and she draws scathing, unforgiving portraits of the famous men in Norma Jean's life, from the ex-athlete who beats her to the President who uses her and tosses her aside.

		In an interview with Greg Johnson, her biographer, Joyce Carol Oates said, "All my longer novels are political, but not obtrusively so, I hope." Middle Age: A Romance would be considered one of her longer novels.
