Review:
"The prize story...is "Papa at Ketchum 1961," where Oates inhabits Hemingway's terse style to show the great man going down in a paroxysm of psychoses....It marks an explosive ending to Oates's peculiar fantasy game, one that begs to be treated at length."

Book Description: HarperCollins Publishers Inc, United States, 2009. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 203 x 127 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Through the words of his own 'diary', we watch as Poe succumbs to existential loneliness during a sociological experiment in an isolated lighthouse, stranded for a year with no companion but his faithful dog.Dickinson is brought back to life in an imagined future era, when a husband and wife buy her as a servant-robot/clone, eager for her to write her charming verses while she does the chores.Samuel Clemens (Twain) dotes on his 'Angelfish', a group of young girls aged 10-15 who he insists should call him Grandpa and on whom he lavishes endless gifts.Henry James volunteers in a British hospital during WWI and struggles to overcome his revulsion at the wreckage of the soldiers' bodies only to discover something new and dangerously beautiful in himself.And in the final story, with Papa Hemingway hunched over a table late at night with a shotgun to his chin, we trace back over his angry, chaotic life, his tumultuous relationship with his father and his wives.
