The rough country is both the treacherous geographical/psychological terrains of the writers she analyses--Flannery O'Connor, Shirley Jackson, Cormac McCarthy, Annie Proulx, and Margaret Atwood among others--and also the emotional terrain of Oates's own life following the unexpected death of her husband.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library LLH Closed Stacks 814.6 Oa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
