Joyce Carol Oates, a contributor to Issue 7 of Interlitq, an idol of Julia Rhodes

Joyce Carol Oates

Joyce Carol Oates, the U.S. author who contributed prose to Issue 7 of Interlitq, has been cited in “Until we meet again, a note on why I’ll never stop writing” (Julia Rhodes, The California Review, 04.06.13): “In very early 2000, I was fifteen years old and convinced at that time I was going to be a writer of fiction. My parents had bought me an old typewriter, which I used to type short stories. The clack of the keys made me feel a little closer to my idol, which ebbed and flowed between Joyce Carol Oates and Stephen King depending on my mood.”

Writing in Los Angeles Review of Books (05.01.12), Sianne Ngai reflects on her interaction with Stanley Cavell, a Consulting Editor for Interlitq: At the time I couldn’t have said why I felt so attuned to Cavell’s writing. I just knew, after reading his essay on moods in Emerson and Nietzsche (“Aversive Thinking”) and then his books on Thoreau and remarriage comedy (The Senses of Walden, Pursuits of Happiness), that I wanted to read more, and to think and talk with him as much as possible

Writing in Literary Review, Elaine Showalter, the U.S. literary critic who is a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, states that “Susan Sontag, who died in 2004, was one of the most venerated intellectuals of her generation, but her enemies found her arrogant and aloof, while even her admirers often saw her as forbidding and Olympian. The only time I met her, she explained to me with disdain that although she regarded herself as an authority on American popular culture, she had never owned a television set”
