Book Summary
Chilling FINANCIAL TIMESโImpressive and unsettlingNEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWEerie, shocking, provoking GILLIAN FLYNNRich in suspense, diabolical secrets and psychological insightโECONOMISTEngrossing even as it horrifies BIG ISSUEA spellbinding novel of literary and psychological suspense about the dark secrets that surface after the shocking disappearance of a charismatic, mercurial teacher at an elite boarding school.Who is Francis Fox? A charming English teacher new to the idyllic Langhorne Academy, Fox beguiles many of his students, their parents, and his colleagues at the elite boarding school, while leaving others wondering where he came from and why his biography is so enigmatic. When two brothers discover Foxโs car half-submerged in a pond in a local nature preserve and parts of an unidentified body strewn about the nearby woods, the entire community, including Detective Horace Zwender and his deputy, begins to ask disturbing questions about Francis Fox and who he might really be.A hypnotic, galloping tale of crime and complicity, revenge and restitution, victim vs. predator, Joyce Carol Oatesโs Fox illuminates the darkest corners of the human psyche while asking profound moral questions about justice and the response evil demands. A character as magnetically diabolical as Patricia Highsmithโs Tom Ripley and Vladimir Nabokovโs Humbert Humbert, Francis Fox enchants and manipulates nearly everyone around him, until at last he meets someone he canโt outfox. Written in Oatesโs trademark intimate, sweeping style, and interweaving multiple points of view, Fox is a triumph of craftsmanship and artistry, a novel as profound as it is propulsive, as moving as it is full of mystery.Hauntingly explores the way that beguiling figures can inspire, create and shape artโ LOS ANGELES TIMESMesmerizing MICHAEL CONNELLYOates is a genius REBECCA MAKKAIOates views the US through a gothic prism, forming images as striking as they are disturbingFINANCIAL TIMESAbsolutely chilling โฆ this is Oates at her most disturbing and masterfulโSEATTLE TIMESInescapably abhorrent yet enthralling โฆ Oates understands, as always, how to keep us on the hookโLOS ANGELES TIMESEngrossing even as it horrifies and reminds us that we cannot nor should not look awayโBIG ISSUEโA tautly wound procedural, elegantly written โฆ Oates once again masterfully limns the worse angels of our natureโKIRKUS REVIEWSโMenacing, mesmerizing, and thoroughly provocativeโ BOOKLIST
