BLACK WATER - JOYCE CAROL OATES KARTONIERT (TB)

The Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel from the author of the New York Times bestselling novel We
Were the Mulvaneys Its power of evocation is remarkable. -The New Yorker In the midst of a long
summer on Grayling Island  Maine  twenty-six-year-old Kelly Kelleher longs for something
interesting to happen to her-something that will make her finally feel some of what she
imagines other people must feel when they watch the fireworks explode off the beach. So when
Kelly meets The Senator at an exclusive party and he asks her to go back to a hotel room on the
main island with him  she says yes. Even though the senator is old enough to be her father 
even though he has perhaps been drinking too heavily to get behind the wheel  the danger of
saying yes is an inevitable and even exciting part of the adventure Kelly is finally going to
have. However  as The Senator's car whips around the island's roads and eventually crashes
through a guardrail  it becomes clear to Kelly and the reader that this man embodies a wholly
different and more sinister type of danger  one much larger and harder to contain than the
horrible events that unfold as Kelly is left in the sinking car. Black Water is a chilling
meditation on power  trust  and violation and a timeless classic from one of America's foremost
storytellers.
