<b>“If the phrase ‘woman of letters’ existed, [Joyce Carol Oates] would be, foremost in this country, entitled to it.”—John Updike,<i> The New Yorker</i><br></b><br>As powerful and relevant today as it was on its initial publication, <i>them</i> chronicles the tumultuous lives of a family living on the edge of ruin in the Detroit slums, from the 1930s to the 1967 race riots. Praised by <i>The Nation</i> for her “potent, life-gripping imagination,” Joyce Carol Oates traces the aspirations and struggles of Loretta Wendall, a dreamy young mother who is filled with regret by the age of sixteen, and the subsequent destinies of her children, Maureen and Jules, who must fight to survive in a world of violence and danger. <br><br>Winner of the National Book Award, <i>them</i> is an enthralling novel about love, class, race, and the inhumanity of urban life. It is, raves <i>The New York Times,</i>“a superbly accomplished vision.”<br><br
