Love how the cover turns the edge of her late husband's beautiful photo of mysterious Bryce Canyon into a breath of wind in the pattern of the weave of a Navaho rug. Looking forward to reading "Breathe". Lucky you to have these intimate conversations with your favorite author.
Thank you for this. I’ll definitely be watching it more than once. It’s really quite breathtaking. I especially appreciate watching her mind working as she is weaving her thoughts together and tying them back to “Breathe.” I’ve just ordered the book.
What a treat.! I just finished her Wonderland Quartet, four of her earliest novels, plus two of her memoirs, and a collection of reviews she wrote, so finding this interview is timely indeed. She's such a diverse writer. Looking forward to reading Breathe. Thanks for this.
Thanks! It is such a joy to speak to her and I've had the pleasure of doing so twice before. I've put links in the descriptions to my previous two interviews with her from last year.
@@EricKarlAnderson I just finished Jack of Spades, I was LOVIING IT the last few pages were SO DISAPPOINTING,the ending was so ...terribly wrong...you LEARN NOTHING of the whole mystery with it,the whole story makes no sense with the ending. She rushed it,she just ...I hated it in the end.
My father was a keen gardener, too. It is great you got to chat to one of your favorite authors. Breathe sounds interesting and the talk of native American gods and culture.
wow! Today I read "The Hazards of Time Travel" and loved it --couldn't put it down, and then I see this! marvelous author, one of my favorite s ! I don't usually use so many exclamation points, but quite a coincidence.
@@EricKarlAnderson I did a close reading , taking notes and asking myself questions - taking all day to read it slowly- I filled a little pocket notebook with quotes and questions about the characters and plot. I just love JCO
"Blonde" seems to me a novel written by someone as a favor to people who didn't want the death of Marilyn Monroe -the reality surrounding it ever coming out. I am surprised the Kennedy's didn't sue Oates for defamation. What an ugly scene in the net flix series "Blonde". I love the way her death was made to look like suicide and John F Kennedy a really bad person. I really don't like Oates version of Marilyn which doesn't fit the facts about her or anything about the Presidents character. A great author? No a corporate cover up author. Shame on you Joyce.
Amazing ... happy to be with Joyce Carol Oates and Eric Karl Anderson on Christmas Eve 2024.
I love you Joyce Carol Oates!

Many years ago I read five novels from Mrs. Oates.
Well, she's written 50 new ones since then. 😂😂😂
Excellent interview. Breathe sounds fascinating.
Thank you!
Amazing, do you remember all those lines from the book?
😅 I had some notes in front of me.
Oates gets her ideas from her night dreams.....
