Talk Joyce Carol Oates Figured Out the Secret to Immortality“I have,” Joyce Carol Oates says, “so many ideas.” That’s putting it mildly. “The one I’m doing now, the reader’s going to be surprised.”Joyce Carol Oates in 1970. I don’t think about it too much. I thought, Wow, it’s so funny and weird and wonderful, and I don’t think there’s almost any readership for that.

“Whenever you are writing, it seems like it’s the first time,” says Oates, whose forthcoming book ‘Zero-Sum’ attends to the sinister undercurrents of home life. “I have so many ideas, and I have so many notes here at my study. I just won’t live to write them all,” Joyce Carol Oates said recently. Her oeuvre spans novels, novellas, short stories, plays, poetry, nonfiction and, occasionally, viral tweets, not to mention a Substack. When it comes to her books, the 85-year-old author has often taken on the sinister and the tragic, as with 2022’s Babysitter, a novel about a serial killer in Detroit who chases children, and Blonde (2000), a fictionalized memoir of Marilyn Monroe, which last year was adapted into a film of the same name.
