Joyce Carol Oates, as interviewed by a fan and fellow cat-lover

Interviewing Joyce Carol Oates about writing, generally, is a daunting task.

She’s the award-winning author of more than seventy books, including novels (of varying genres), short-story collections, poetry, plays, and criticism.

So when fellow writer Thomas Pluck had a chance to sit down with her, he had to be somewhat discriminating in his topics.

On CrimeReads, you’ll find Pluck and Oates discussing a handful of her works, her inspirations, her characterizations ... and cats.
