In this collection of twenty-one unforgettable stories, Joyce Carol Oates explores the mysterious private lives of men and women with vivid, unsparing precision and sympathy. By turns interlocutor and interpreter, magician and realist, she dissects the psyches of ordinary people and their potential for good and evil with chilling understatement and lasting power.
Review:
"The aggressive density of her style means FAITHLESS... takes time to grip. But its cumulative power often makes these 24 TALES OF TRANSGRESSION mesmerizing. Despite the occasional lapse and the routinely crepuscular atmosphere, many stories feel necessary--reading as if the characters created so much pressure inside Oates's head, she had to propel them onto paper. It is easy to identify with the pressure and even become eager to share in it...Many of Oates's characters are displaced, in extremis or, at the very least, out of sorts. They seem cut off from the mainstream and condemned to wander. It is a tribute to Oates's craft and imagination that, no matter how off-putting they are, we continually care where they turn in for the night."
Boston Globe, 03/11/2001
Review:"Ultimately, it's not her morbid subject matter that makes this collection compelling but her willingness to imagine the short story in so many different ways. Each story should be read slowly and independently. When read in rapid succession, they glut the reader with the darkest sensation."
Susan Tekulve, Book, March/April 2001
