Query: Even Oates Can Deliver A Bomb

Don't be fooled by those who try to sell this as more than it is: it's a short story bound and sold as a novella. The story is uninteresting and disturbing and weak. The girl obviously confuses love with emotional need and what passes for affection between her and the sick man is misuse. This insipid tale of molestation and victimization didn't need to be told. I am not saying the subject matter isn't valid, only that as Oates presents it, it's pointless and blurred. I'm a major Oates fan but I won't give her a good review on something this horrible.
