They point me in directions to explore (even if I don't read novels often). Oates is really finding her straps looking at the experience of children and 'imagining' herself into them. But, Denise, this review tells us little. Where are the examples, the meaning of what she is getting at? What can we make of the 'egoist' when we hear little or nothing of it? A fat kid? So what? What is it that we are supposed to be enthused by to go and buy the book?
