SUMMARY:Joyce Carol Oates
DESCRIPTION:Joyce Carol Oates\n\n\n\n\nreads from her latest novel The Hazards of Time Travel\, an ingenious\, dystopian novel of one young woman’s resistance against the constraints of an oppressive society. \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of The Hazards of Time Travel by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, March 20\, 2019 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\n“Time travel”–and its hazards–are made literal in this astonishing new novel in which a recklessly idealistic girl dares to test the perimeters of her tightly controlled (future) world and is punished by being sent back in time to a region of North America–“Wainscotia\, Wisconsin”–that existed eighty years before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern town she is set upon a course of “rehabilitation”–but cannot resist falling in love with a fellow exile and questioning the constrains of the Wainscotia world with results that are both devastating and liberating. \nArresting and visionary\, Hazards of Time Travel is both a novel of harrowing discovery and an exquisitely wrought love story that may be Joyce Carol Oates’s most unexpected novel so far. \nJoyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Medal of Humanities\, the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award\, the National Book Award\, and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction\, and has been several times nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time\, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys\, Blonde\, which was nominated for the National Book Award\, and the New York Times bestseller The Falls\, which won the 2005 Prix Femina. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Princeton University and has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1978. She spends winters in Berkeley. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705
