  3. 'The Accursed' by Joyce Carol Oates: An engrossing throwback

    In her long and famously prolific career as a novelist, Joyce Carol Oates has worked in many different modes, from the social realism of her National Book Award-winning &quot;them" (1969) and the neo-Gothic storytelling of "Bellefleur" (1980) to the dreamlike historical fiction of "Black Water" (1992) and "Blonde" (2000), both finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. In "The Accursed," Oates combines elements of all of these styles in a bravura performance that has yielded her best, most entertaining and engrossing novel in years.

    Those who&rsquo;ve come to know Brad Spence through the soft, visually hazy airbrush paintings he&rsquo;s made in recent years &mdash; scenes viewed as if through a foggy window pane or the chemical haze of an aging negative &mdash; are in for a surprise with his newest exhibition at Shoshana Wayne Gallery.

  5. Biblioracle: Saluting the Bildungsroman

    I've been spending my holiday teaching break trying to finish a manuscript for a young adult coming-of-age novel I'm working on, which has me thinking a lot about coming-of-age novels, which has me wondering if all good novels aren't coming-of-age novels....

    With his first collection of short stories, &ldquo;Drown,&rdquo; and his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, &ldquo;The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,&rdquo; Junot D&iacute;az won enthusiastic fans.
