<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Readers will find "small, hard gems" ("New York Times Book Review") in this new collection of short stories from bestselling and award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>I Am No One You Know</em> contains nineteen startling stories that bear witness to the remarkably varied lives of Americans of our time. In Fire, a troubled young wife discovers a rare, radiant happiness in an adulterous relationship. In Curly Red, a girl makes a decision to reveal a family secret, and changes her life irrevocably. In The Girl with the Blackened Eye, selected for The Best American Mystery Stories 2001, a girl pushed to an even greater extreme of courage and desperation manages to survive her abduction by a serial killer. And in Three Girls, two adventuresome NYU undergraduates seal their secret love by following, and protecting, Marilyn Monroe in disguise at Strand Used Books on a snowy evening in 1956.</p> <p>These vividly rendered portraits of women, men, and children testify to Oates's compassion for the mysterious and luminous resources of the human spirit.</p>
