Finally returned to print in a beautiful new trade paperback edition, comes Joyce Carol Oates´ lost classic: a satirical, often surreal, and beautifully plotted Gothic Romance that follows the exploits of the audacious Zinn sisters, whose 19th century pursuit of adventurous lives turns a lens on contemporary American culture.
Set in a nineteenth century similar to our own, A Bloodsmoor Romance follows the beautiful Zinn sisters, five young women who refuse--for the most part--”the obligations of Christian marriage.”
Full of Oates´s mordant wit and breathlessly told in the Victorian style by an unnamed narrator shocked by the Zinn sisters´ sexuality, impulsivity, and rude rejection of the mores of their time, A Bloodsmoor Romance is a delicious filigree of literary conventions, “a novel of manners” in the tradition of Austen, Dickens, and Alcott which Oates turns on its head.
Oates´s dark romp interweaves murder and mayhem, ghosts, and abductions, substance abuse and gender identity, women´s suffrage, the American spiritualist movement, and sexual aberration, as the Zinn sisters come into contact with some of the 19th century´s greatest characters, from Mark Twain to Oscar Wilde.
A biting assessment of the American landscape and a virtuosic transformation of a literary genre, A Bloodsmoor Romance is a compelling, hilarious, and magical anti-romance--Little Women by way of Stephen King.
