Summary
"In this stirring, reflective collection of short stories, Joyce Carol Oates ponders alternate destinies, the other lives we might have led if we'd made different choices. An accomplished writer returns to her childhood home of Yewville, but the homecoming stirs troubled thoughts about the person she might have been if she'd never left. A man in prison contemplates the gravity of his irreversible act. A student's affair with a professor results in a pregnancy that alters the course of her life forever. Even the experience of reading is investigated as one that can create a profound transformation: 'You could enter another time, the time of the book.'"--, Provided by publisher
