Publisher's Note

I Am No One You Know contains nineteen startling stories that bear witness to the remarkably varied lives of Americans of our time. In "Fire," a troubled young wife discovers a rare, radiant happiness in an adulterous relationship.

In "Curly Red," a girl makes a decision to reveal a family secret, and changes her life irrevocably. In "The Girl with the Blackened Eye," selected for The Best American Mystery Stories 2001, a girl pushed to an even greater extreme of courage and desperation manages to survive her abduction by a serial killer. And in "Three Girls," two adventuresome NYU undergraduates seal their secret love by following, and protecting, Marilyn Monroe in disguise in Strand Used Books on a snowy evening in 1956.

These vividly rendered portraits of women, men, and children testify to Oates's compassion for the mysterious and luminous resources of the human spirit.



Industry reviews
"[E]ven the strangest events in this sure-footed collection are painfully familiar."
Publishers Weekly  (02/02/2004)

"These are small, hard gems, full of the same rich emotion and startling observation that readers of Oates's fiction have come to expect."
New York Times Book Review - John Schwartz (04/18/2004)

"[A]lthough the collection is often undeniably grim, it never veers off into simply being depressing. Instead, Oates's subtle, empathetic writing and complex characters provoke thought, occasional inklings of hope, and that suffused sense of dread most hack thriller writers would kill for....Oates's milieu is the cruelty that everyday people are capable of, and here she provides some of her most nuanced examinations of how they deal with it."
Ruminator Review - Matt Konrad
