I don't see Joyce Carol Oates' book "Pursuit" listed with the others. I believe it was pulished in 2019. 2603:7080:A03D:ECE4:3DCC:D36A:9581:B714 (talk) 00:45, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-JESUS!  Talk about a prolific writer!  Is she considered an "A-List" writer by academics and the literary establishment or a bit sub-par?  --[[User:205.188.117.8|205.188.117.8]] 08:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
-: That depends on who you talk to. She is often brought up by among some as a good canadidate for the next American Nobel laureate for literature, but that has been the speculate since before [[Toni Morrison]] received hers. Other, in the camp to which I belong, find her work of a passable but not great quality. However, she has received some critical acclaim, including a National Book Award for the novel ''[[Them (novel)|them]]'', The PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence. Oprah brought to a large audience with choosing ''[[We Were the Mulvaneys]]'' for he book club. --[[User:Chemica|chemica]] 05:39, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
-:She is certainly an A-list writer by anyone's estimation. In addition to being a perennial Nobel candidate, she is also nominated all the time for every major literary award, including an unheard-of two-book nomination in 2008 for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Perhaps Wikipedia can reach out to the people at the Celestial Timeline (not sure this is right) page and ask them to help sharpen this entry.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/72.241.103.122|72.241.103.122]] ([[User talk:72.241.103.122|talk]]) 07:06, 16 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-This IP [[64.113.69.215]] has been repeatedly vadalizing this page  [[User:Falcon4196|Falcon4196]] 03:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
-Gore Vidal line: What are the three saddest words in the English language? Joyce Carol Oates. [[Special:Contributions/87.84.248.99|87.84.248.99]] ([[User talk:87.84.248.99|talk]]) 15:41, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
-::::::::::One more reason to dislike Gore Vidal.[[User:Lestrade|Lestrade]] ([[User talk:Lestrade|talk]]) 15:30, 17 June 2011 (UTC)Lestrade
-:She has tremendous standing with many influential critics and with a wide readership all over the world. Vidal was probably being jealous. Of course some of her choice of subject matter and her unflinching way of writing, and of confronting or investigating sexism, class prejudice/conflict and racism, are sometimes  controversial, not least in her native country. If she'd been European (English or other) much more of her work would have been adapted for tv and movies, and she might even have been asked to write original screenplays, but the way she shapes her literary world flies in the face of Hollywood and US tv dramaturgy (while she is not in any sense a cheap agitator). IMO she writes incredibly good dialogue, would make a terrific script writer.
-:As pointed out already in the article, she is often bet to be the next U.S. Nobel Prize winner for Literature, and it's relatively safe to say she will live on as a classic of post-war American literature and remain widely read and appreciated for many decades from now. [[User:Strausszek|Strausszek]] ([[User talk:Strausszek|talk]]) 11:32, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
-::The Nobel Committee has a policy according to which "everybody gets a turn." If JCO's ethnic category has already been awarded the prize, then she will have to wait until every other has their chance. At present, the next in line are a male from Brazil, a transgender from American Samoa, and a female from Syria.[[User:Lestrade|Lestrade]] ([[User talk:Lestrade|talk]]) 20:49, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Lestrade
-==page edit==
-This article is turgid, particularly the intro, and there's lots of uncited material, red links and overall it seems to need some work. Anyone object if I do it?

-An IP just removed a non-existent award from the '''Select awards and honors''' section. 'The Will Smith Willenium Award for clever wordplay' had been listed in [[Joyce Carol Oates|this article]] since November, 2012! And as misinformation in Wikipedia will, it had spread.
