An unprecedented collection of the best of Joyce Carol Oates' short stories combined with eleven new stories No other writer can match the impressive oeuvre of Joyce Carol Oates, and High Selected Stories, 1966-2006 gathers stories from Oates' seminal collections, including The Wheel of Love (1970), Marriages and Infidelities (1972), and Heat (1991), arranged by decade. All demonstrate what the Chicago Tribune has "the fierce originality of Oates' voice and vision, but also how she has imbued the American short story with an edgy vitality and raw social surfaces."
