Joyce Carol Oates has taken a shocking story that has become an American myth and, from it, has created a novel of electrifying power and illumination. Kelly Kelleher is an idealistic, twenty-six-year-old "good girl" when she meets the Senator at a Fourth of July party. In a Brilliantly woven narrative, we enter her past and her present, her mind and her body as she is fatally attracted to this older man, this older man, this hero, this soon-to-be-lover. Kelly becomes the very embodiment of the vulnerable, romantic dreams of bright and brave women, drawn to the power that certain men command--at a party that takes on the quality of a surreal nightmare; in tragic car ride that we hope against hope will not end as we know it must end. One of the acknowledged masters of American fiction, Joyce Carol Oates has written a bold tour de force that parts the black water to reveal the profoundest depths of human truth.
Review:
"[Oates's] embarrassing 1992 fictionalization of Chappaquiddick, playing to readers' voyeuristic interest in a real-life story while using the liberties of a novel to tart up the facts."
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 03/30/2000
