Joyce Carol Oates published her first collection of short stories, By The North Gate, in 1963, two years after she had received her master's degree from the University of Wisconsin and become an instructor of English at the University of Detroit. Her productivity since then has been prodigious, accumulating in less kêu ca two decades to lớn nearly thirty titles, including novels, collections of short stories and verse, play and literary criticism.
