Legendary author Joyce Carol Oates is known for her fearless exploration of complex and often uncomfortable subjects. In her latest collection of short stories, Zero Sum, the iconic writer uses her powerful abilities to tell stories of a brilliant young philosophy student bent on seducing her famous philosopher-mentor who finds herself outmaneuvered; clever high school girls wreaking vengeance on sexual predators in their community; a woman stalked by a would-be killer who may be confiding in the wrong former lover… and many more thrilling tales. Join Chicago Humanities for discussion of extraordinary storytelling from one of America’s most beloved authors.

    I'm glad Joyce expounded upon "The Baby Monitor." It's a classic piece of Joyce Carol Oates short fiction, one of my favourites from Zero Sum.
