Joyce Carol Oates, whose latest book is A Widow's Story (Ecco, ISBN 9780062015532), is on PBS’s NewsHour today. PW’s review said, “In her typically probing fashion, Oates navigates her way through the choppy waters of widowhood, at first refusing to accept her new identity as a widow…. At times overly self-conscious, Oates nevertheless shines a bright light in every corner in her soul-searing memoir of widowhood.”
