- A prolific, award-winning author, Joyce Carol Oates has published more than one hundred books, approximately sixty of them novels. She also writes poetry, short stories, essays, and criticism, and for a number of years, she taught creative writing at Princeton University. Oates won the National Book Award in 1969 for her novel them, and she has since been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Many of her short stories and novels feature fictionalized versions of real people and situations. Blonde (2000), for example, is a historical novel that imagines the inner life of movie star Marilyn Monroe. Oates often places her work on the fringes of science fiction and fantasy, and frequently explores Gothic themes. In 2010, Oates received a National Humanities Medal, and some critics predict that she will be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in the future.
