Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
I Am No One You Know contains nineteen startling stories that bear witness to the remarkably varied lives of Americans of our time. In "Fire," a troubled young wife discovers a rare, radiant happiness in an adulterous relationship.
In "Curly Red," a girl makes a decision to reveal a family secret, and changes her life irrevocably. In "The Girl with the Blackened Eye," selected for The Best American Mystery Stories 2001, a girl pushed to an even greater extreme of courage and desperation manages to survive her abduction by a serial killer. And in "Three Girls," two adventuresome NYU undergraduates seal their secret love by following, and protecting, Marilyn Monroe in disguise in Strand Used Books on a snowy evening in 1956.
These vividly rendered portraits of women, men, and children testify to Oates's compassion for the mysterious and luminous resources of the human spirit.
Review:
"[E]ven the strangest events in this sure-footed collection are painfully familiar."
Publishers Weekly, 02/02/2004
Review:"These are small, hard gems, full of the same rich emotion and startling observation that readers of Oates's fiction have come to expect."
John Schwartz, New York Times Book Review, 04/18/2004
