Prolific novelist Joyce Carol Oates "has never been afraid of going 'over the top,'" writes St. Olaf Professor of English Diana Postlethwaite in the Star Tribune, and Oates's latest, The Falls, "takes its readers on a wild ride." An occasional books reviewer for The New York Times, Postlethwaite specializes in 19th-century British literature as well as the topic of film and literature.
