(4) YA This collection contains some of Oates's classic works, including "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" The author's genius for exploring dark emotional landscapes is unquestioned. Most of these frank, frequently brutal tales feature teenage characters, but the tone is often detached and clearly adult, making this volume unlikely to connect with many young adult readers.
