Oates visits the University of California at Berkeley for story hour.
It all started with her grandmother’s gift of a copy of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Then at 14 she gave her a typewriter and the rest, as they say, is history. By the time Oates was in college she was practicing her craft by writing novel after novel, then throwing them out and starting over!
With over 40 published novels to her credit and too many literary awards to fit on the mantle odds are Oates can read and tell a mean story.
