Praise for Because It Is Bitter, and Because It Is My Heart "Fiction of extraordinary imaginative power."--Marilynne Robinson, The New York Times Book Review "An impressive performance...fearless....There seems to be no erotic passion, no violence of act or language, no addiction, no fatal failure of nerve that is beyond Oates's reach when it comes to rendering it in fiction."-- Seattle Times/Post-Intelligencer "Oates is a master novelist....Thrilling momentum...it's hard to stop reading."-- USA Today, "Fiction of Extraordinary imaginative power." -- Marilynne Robinson, The New York Times Book Review "An impressive performance ... fearless ...

Synopsis
Joyce Carol Oates adds to her extraordinary body of work with this stunning National Book Award Finalist filled with violence, love, racism, and a shared secret in mid-century New York. In the early 1950s in an industrial town, racial boundaries may keep people apart--or bring them together explosively. Iris Courtney, who is white, is the only witness when handsome Jinx Fairchild, a black basketball player, kills a white man in order to protect her. The secret link between Iris and Jinx is not only their attraction to each other, but a bond of passion and guilt that has formed between them. This one irrevocable, tragic act shapes their lives and alters their destinies in Joyce Carol Oates's finest, emotion-packed novel--a work critics call a masterpiece, the best work of America's best writer of contemporary realism.

    By far the fastest shipper I’ve ever encountered on this platform. Packing was ok, bottom of the pop box was open and there is a small indent on the side of the box, however this could’ve been on usps. Pop is brand new as stated. Overall good seller, with more than fair pricing. Would do business with again in the future.
