Joyce Carol Oates: I'll Take You There

Hosted by

I'll Take You There (Ecco) appears to be a novel about college in the 1960's and interracial dating. At its heart, though, it pits skeptical against mystical philosophy -- that is, immaturity against wisdom. Joyce Carol Oates differentiates herself from the unnamed heroine of this autobiographical novel and explores the mysteries of individuation and identity.
