Joyce Carol Oates is the Rogers S. Berlind ’52 Professor Emerita
in the Humanities at Princeton University with the Program in
Creative Writing. She is among the most widely-recognized and
respected writers of our time, and has written in a wide variety
of media and genres, from poetry and fiction in the former
category to horror and Gothic in the latter. Her work has also
been adapted into various other media, from plays to film. Joyce
is the recipient of two O. Henry Awards and the National Book
Award, among many others. This is Joyce’s second appearance on
Robinson’s Podcast. In episode 137, she and Robinson discussed
craft in fiction and poetry. In this episode, they talk about
Joyce’s most recent collection of short stories, Zero-Sum (link

with criticism, translation, and more.
