These are tales of psyches pushed to their limits by the expectations of everyday life--from a woman who gets lost on her drive home to her plush suburban home and ends up breaking into a stranger's house, to a first-person account of a cloned 1940s magazine pinup girl being sold at auction and embodying America's ideals of beauty and womanhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken as a whole, the collection forms a poignant tapestry of regular people searching for their place in a social hierarchy, often with devastating and disastrous results. Rendered with stylish, fresh writing from an author who continues to push the envelope, the stories deftly weave in and out of a stream-of-consciousness to reflect the ways we process traumatic experiences and impart that uncertainty and uneasiness to the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally appearing in publications as disparate as Harper's, Vice, and Conjunctions, the stories comprising Night, Neon showcase Oates' mastery of the suspense story--and her relentless use of the form to conduct unapologetically honest explorations of American identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mysterious Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613162309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312","brand":"Joyce Carol Oates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40040743338165,"sku":"9781613162309","price":22.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e02e54b9-c8ec-4065-9706-20dc0d7aa6eb.jpg?v=1621344271","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/night-neon-tales-of-mystery-and-suspense-9781613162309","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
