Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"Anellia" is a young student who, though gifted with a penetratingintelligence, is drastically inclined to obsession. Funny, mordant, and compulsive, she falls passionately in love with a brilliant yet elusive blackphilosophy student. But she is tested most severely by a figure out ofher past she'd long believed dead.
Astonishingly intimate and unsparing, and pitiless in exposing the follies of the time, I'll Take You There is a dramatic revelation of the risks -- and curious rewards -- of the obsessive personality as well as a testament to the stubborn strength of a certain type of contemporary female intellectual.
Review:
"In subverting our wish to cozy up to her narrator, Oates has taken a radical and rather daring stance, fabricating a subject who is unknowable not just to herself but to everyone. It is a testament to Oates's narrative powers that she can maintain this gulf between reader and protagonist, yet command our attention throughout. We're keen to know what happens to her nameless subject, even if we never quite know who she is."
Jennifer Egan, New York Times Book Review, 10/20/2002
Review:"What Oates does succeed in is a compelling portrait of the individual's capacity for self-sabotage, for creating entrapment where none need exist. She also furnisher her portrait with a plausible psychological history....But, too often, Oates's symbolism is crude and predictable....At the end of the novel, when the duckling philosopher turns into the swan writer, one can only wonder what kind of stories she will produce--and hope that they may be a little more controlled than this one."
Alex Clark, Times Literary Supplement, 01/03/2003
