Hi Gary and Everyone:
The unpublished work I'm desperately hoping to see someday is "The Crosswicks Horror".

Hi Nicole
I'm sure there are lots and lots of references to myth in JCO's work. The one which pops into mind is the section of Middle Age where one woman's husband is torn apart by all her dogs which I believe is a reference to the myth of Artemis and Actaeon.
Which work of JCO's have you read and what got you interested in the topic of myth within her work.

i feel guilty relaying this because its gossip but years ago someone
reliable told me that his girlfriend told him that there is a trunk at
harperCollins with unpublished finished works by doris lessing -- a writer
important to oates. maybe its not true but i always felt the rumor's truth
lies in the fact that the great women writers of our time (lessing,
murdoch, oates) have OFTEN been resented for their work ethics and their
super-abundant imaginations. And have been pressured to curb it in. Even
to the degree that lessing & oates have experimented with second (and
third) publishing selves...

Of course, these are "merely" the published works. You have to wonder how
much unpublished work is sitting in JCO's bottom drawer. Even she must have
stories and novels that didn't work out and/or she can't sell.
