Monday Drive’s regular reviewer Riley Lavelle Long changes medium this week to talk about the novel ‘The Accursed’, by Joyce Carol Oates.
‘The Accursed’, is set in and around Princeton, New Jersey in the early twentieth century, and explores a variety of supernatural themes, tracing their effect upon members of several families who reside in the area. The novel contains a number of historical figures used in a fictional context, among them President Woodrow Wilson, and writers Mark Twain and Upton Sinclair and his first wife Meta.
Ruth and Riley also discuss the new movie ‘The Book Club’.
