{"product_id":"oates-joyce-carol-zero-sum","title":"Zero-Sum","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Oates's imagination is as unique, dystopian and vivid as Lewis Carroll's' ROSE TREMAIN 'A master storyteller' THE TIMES 'Electric' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Zero-sum games are played for lethal stakes in these arresting stories by one of America's most acclaimed writers. A brilliant young philosophy student bent on seducing her famous philosopher-mentor finds herself outmaneuvered; diabolically clever high school girls wreak a particularly apt sort of vengeance on sexual predators in their community; a woman stalked by a would-be killer may be confiding in the wrong former lover; a young woman is morbidly obsessed by her unfamiliar new role as \"mother.\" In the collection's longest story, a much-praised cutting-edge writer cruelly experiments with \"drafts\" of his own suicide. In these powerfully wrought stories that hold a mirror up to our time, Joyce Carol Oates has created a world of erotic obsession, thwarted idealism, and ever-shifting identities. Provocative and stunning, Zero-Sum reinforces Oates's standing as a literary treasure and an artist of the mysterious interior life. 'Alluringly dark and spiky' NEW STATESMAN ' Zero-Sum is brilliant - bloodied, breathless, weird' A. K. BLAKEMORE 'Dark, unsettling stories ... There's a disquieting violence simmering ... a shrill alarm of disquiet' DAILY MAIL 'Oates is an inspired writer, and a formidable psychologist' INDEPENDENT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eEAN:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e9780008609801\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFarbverschnitt:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eGenerell werden die Bücher ohne Farbverschnitt geliefert, auch wenn die Abbildungen einen Farbverschnitt zeigen.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eErscheinungsjahr:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e18.07.2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eAutoren:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eOates, Joyce Carol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eSeitenzahl\/Blattzahl:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e251\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachschema:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eAmerikanische Belletristik \/ Roman, Erzählung~Englische Bücher \/ Belletristik \/ Horror~Horror \/ Romane, Erzählungen, Heftromane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachkategorie:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eHorrorliteratur und Übernatürliches~Belletristik: Erzählungen, Kurzgeschichten, Short Stories~Psychothriller~Zeitgenössische Lifestyle-Literatur~Belletristik: Themen, Stoffe, Motive: Liebe und Beziehungen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eLänge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e190 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eBreite:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e131 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eHöhe:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e22 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eGewicht:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e186 gr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eProduktform:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eKartoniert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Oates, Joyce Carol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54792009187654,"sku":"9090358","price":12.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/B00000003149281.jpg?v=1757011868","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/oates-joyce-carol-zero-sum","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
