My Sister My Love

By Joyce Carol Oates

Joyce Carol Oates′s most controversial novel to date‚ and certainly her most satirical‚ My Sister‚ My Love: The Intimate Story of Skyler Rampike recounts the saga of a murder through the eyes of the ninteen−year−old "survivor" of a family torn apart by intense media scrutiny. In this ingeniously constructed novel − part mystery‚ part elegy for the narrator′s six−year−old sister‚ and part expose of the pretensions of upper−middle−class suburbia − Joyce Carol Oates explores with unexpected sympathy and subtelty the intimate lives of those who dwell in Tabloid Hell.
