From one of the most respected authors and writers of our time, Carthage, by Joyce Carol Oates, examines the human capacity for violence, forgiveness, and love. After Zeno Mayfield’s daughter goes missing in the wilds of the Adirondacks, an unlikely suspect is found in a decorated Iraq War veteran. The book transports readers into the psyche of the wounded corporal while also telling the story of the disillusioned young girl whose emotional disappearance may have happened long before her physical one.
Carthage is a dark and exhilarating addition to the Oates canon. Check it out for yourself from the Popular Collection located in the Media Room!
