From all these classes, the one about Oates was one of the most interesting authors I have heard so far. The way the professor presented Oates, her achievements, novels, short stories, all her work just let me with the feeling of knowing more about her.
That is why, I have been trying to find and gather information about Joyce Carol Oates. I looked for biographies and what some other authors say about her work. I found very great publications about her work -which I will post later. But suddenly, I thought it would be a good idea to look something on Youtube. That is how I got to this video. To know about her in HER own words was way better to have read a four-page essay about herself and her thoughts about her own work. To have heard that three-minute video is worth doing it.
The way words come out of her mind and the pasion she has of writing are amazing. Her thoughs about life and herself are aslo remarkable. I recommend everybody to watch it and hear-and-watch by your own how amazing she is!
She's amazing indeed! I admire how she is able to write different things with different styles, I'd like to read some more of her work.
ResponderBorrar"I´m transparent like a glass of water" I like the way she explains her personality is and how it is influenced when she is with other people. I think is basically true, we all are defined in one way or another by the people who surround us. Is like when people talk about children having one personality at home and one at school, it might sound a lie, but I can tell you it is true!
ResponderBorrarI really liked hoy a 3-minute video could sum up the great personality of Joyce Carol Oates. She talks about her work, the environment she likes having for her to work, her fame, and her very own way of being. Undoubtedly, what caught my attention the most was her house. A place that big, with such a great backyard, with grass, trees, bushes, a place to walk around and re-discover each time... a place like that must be very inspiring, and I'm pretty sure that inspiration must be present in her work. I'd really like to find out more about this interesting author.
