I’m currently reading Joyce Carol Oates’ Expensive People (review up in a day or two), and as I was just doing some browsing about her online, I found out that not only had she re-married after her husband’s death in 2008, but she’s selling her long-time home. After reading her descriptions of her writing habits and seeing several photos of her at home, it’s interesting to get a look at the place where she did so much work, and the adjoining woods that she talked about.
I”m a bit surprised at the almost mod-style feel of the place. Those floor-to-ceiling windows must cost a fortune to heat in the winter.
