Summary Joyce Carol Oates vividly re-creates the early years of her life in New York State, powerfully evoking the romance of childhood and the way it colours everything that comes afterwards. From her first friendships to her first experiences with death, The Lost Landscape is an arresting account of the ways in which Oates's life and writing were shaped by early childhood and a tough rural upbringing. In this candid and moving recounting of her early years, Oates explores the world tthrough the eyes of her younger self and reveals her nascent experiences of wanting to tell stories about the world and the people she meets. Oates renders her memories and emotions with exquisite precision -- to transport the reader to the lost landscape of the writer's past but also to the lost landscapes of our earliest, and most essential lives.
