Synopsis
In Joyce Carol Oates's grim gothic tale of upper class decadence, a bashful, traumatized teenager with "repetitive compulsion syndrome" confronts the decade-old murder of his beauty queen sister, Bliss, when she was six years old. Readers will recall the JonBenet Ramsey case in Oates's depiction of the highly dysfunctional Rampike family. Betsey and Bix Rampike are cruel, crass, and snobbish parents who preach their problems to their son, Skylar, and turn their daughter into a sex symbol almost as soon as she can walk. The novel's narrator, Skylar, troubled about the past, delves into the unpleasant secrets of his blighted family with a quirky gusto that Oates's fans will relish.
The unexpurgated first-person narrative of nineteen-year-old Skyler Rampike, the only surviving child of an infamous American family. A decade ago the Rampikes were destroyed by the murder of Skyler's six-year-old ice-skating champion sister, Bliss, and the media scrutiny that followed. Part investigation into the unsolved murder; part elegy for the lost Bliss and for Skyler's own lost childhood; and part corrosively funny expose of the pretensions of upper-middle-class American suburbia, this captivating novel explores with unexpected sympathy and subtlety the intimate lives of those who dwell in Tabloid Hell.
