Note(s) : The bonds of family are tested in the wake of a profound tragedy, providing a look
at the darker side of our society by one of our most enduringly popular and important
writers. Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars. is a gripping examination of contemporary
America through the prism of a family tragedy: when a powerful parent dies, each of
his adult children reacts in startling and unexpected ways, and his grieving widow
in the most surprising way of all. Stark and penetrating, Joyce Carol Oates's latest
novel is a vivid exploration of psychological trauma, class warfare, grief, and eventual
healing, as well as an intimate family novel in the tradition of the author's bestselling
We Were the Mulvaneys.
