The (Other) You: Stories by Joyce Carol Oates

2.0

I've loved every novel I've read so far by Joyce Carol Oates so I was looking forward to my first sampling of her short stories. Unfortunately, I was terribly disappointed. These stories though well-written just didn't speak to me. They were dull and boring. A few were good but most didn't do anything for me. I did like that the stories were about older women. There was also a lot of recently widowed women and an outdoor cafe which kept recurring in several stories. Oates has written a lot of short stories so hopefully my next try will have better results.
