I'll Take You There by Joyce Carol Oates
3.0
Very good but not great. And great is what I've come to expect from Oates.
We nicely follow the story of the "unnamed" protaganist (that should have been an effective literary device and instead was overly contrived) as she descended in and out of mild instability. Rather an interesting psychological look, but perhaps it is my repressed midwestern ethics but it all seemed like a lot of strum und drang.
Recommended because anything Oates writes is better than 70% of the drivel out there, but recommended with reservations.
