Joyce Carol Oates — Marya: A Life
Pan 1987 Paperback, 320pp. Marya was born near the point where Tobacco Road meets The Grapes of Wrath. Her parents were poor whites and her father was bludgeoned to death when Marya was eight. She was raised by her uncle's family, a raising that included sexual abuse in a world of poverty and violence. Maybe it was then that Marya began to build the hard bright shell that protected her as she clawed her way up through her brilliant academic career to become a literary lioness in New York City. Owner's Name inside. (ISBN: 9780330295888). Good.
