Oates, Joyce Carol, 1938-

Night. Sleep. Death. The stars. : a novel / Joyce Carol Oates. - [London] : Fourth Estate, 2020. - 787 pages ; 24 cm.

Night Sleep Death The Stars is a gripping examination of contemporary America through the prism of a family tragedy: when a powerful parent dies, each of his adult children reacts in startling and unexpected ways, and his grieving widow in the most surprising way of all. Stark and penetrating, Joyce Carol Oates's latest novel is a vivid exploration of race, psychological trauma, class warfare, grief, and eventual healing, as well as an intimate family novel in the tradition of the author's bestselling We Were the Mulvaneys.
