It is a privilege to watch this video. She is one of the greatest writers in history. Her work is amazing.
One of the greatest writers of all time.
I've never gotten around to reading her, and now I feel like a colossal twit for not prioritizing her on my list.
She is soft spoken, but her sincere respect for a person, and that person's story, is absolutely refreshing.
She seems authentic to the core, and obviously is in love with life.
I love her books. And her smart ass playful comments. Plus, her warmth.
Wow! really enjoyed the interview and JCO's observations and reflections. We're fortunate to live in a time where we can hear and see great talent (and also be reminded of the privileges of our freedoms).
What an enthralling interviewe ! So lively, quite funny at times. To be blunt, awesome stuff. It was great listening to both of you. If only our school teachers had been so inspiring. And yes, reading novels is a thrilling and enriching activity (and not a waste of time, like many non readers like to proclame). Listening to authors, and to Joyce Carol Oates in this particular instance, is simply delightful.
JCO is my favorite writer. She's stunning!
I love Joyce Carol Oates. I would prefer to just hear her speak and not have to answer questions. I don't know. In the end I'll listen to anything that has Joyce in it :)
So true
Me too, especially when she speaks about protecting the wild Triceratops from cruel hunters. Love her!
As I listen to this interview, I am continuously let down by the interviewer because he does not BUILD on what Joyce Carol Oates provides as food for thought, but dismisses much of what she says? He's run of the mill and too common to be discussing anything with this prolific author.
I just came upon this interview years later but I completely agree with you. Totally mismatched!
Nicholas - This was not a snooze fest but really an engaging talk. I really liked the interviewer. I thought he was very well prepared and asked questions that are not the standard ones. JCO is an institution and she seemed to be having a lot of fun and the audience was breaking up. Her book "A Widow's Story" is my favorite of the decade. I learned a lot, in part because of the unique questions that were asked.
Widow's Story was a masterpiece memoir
They probably should have had an interviewer who actually reads every now and again
Such a brilliant woman...
The interviewer distracts from the interview. His style of interviewing is subtly confrontational and quite awkward. She is a lovely, highly acclaimed author and so well spoken. He reminds me of a sports
commentator. He is out of his league and clearly uncomfortable. I doubt he has read any of her books.
I've never read any Joyce Carol Oates. But God I love her already.
Would you like suggestions on what to read of hers? I have read quite a bit, and all of her stuff is available quite cheaply on Amazon.
@@JeffRebornNow oh yes, I would appreciate that very much thank you
"Love You! Love You! Love You, Joyce."
Fascinating woman.
It's sad to see her so terrified of the progressive mob that she has to continually virtue signal about racism, 'white privilege' and feminism before she goes on to talk about Tawana Brawley and the feminist ideologues.
I love the juxtaposition of her. Meek, yet fierce AF.
She's a genius.
"We (Writers). Write about the Character in Life. Human or Inhuman to the story. They lived or still live somewhere on this Planet."
What a marvelous young lady!
What a horrible interviewer: no empathy or sensibility. Still, JCO is so great, her answers are impeccable, intelligent and humane !! Wonderful writer!
No matter who it is you would say it's a horrible interviewer and her answers are just answers.
JCO praises my ebook on her:

@@Denisenoe Hi Denise. I don't have Kindle so I can't read your book. Have you corresponded with Oates? I've met her a few times and corresponded with her. She's an extremely kind person and very giving of her time.
@@JeffRebornNow We have emailed back and forth. I sent her my essays -- especially on her work -- and she was always complimentary.
@@denisenoe1534 If you've ever met her in person she's extremely funny.
I Love you JCO. Enjoy your books
I was here in July 2021
Falling in love has no plausible answer...if you are lucky, you will become plural & it will all sort of become a mutual journey.
The interviewer is a friend of her . He’s teasing her . Calm down everybody
how do you know?
makes no difference, his cockiness detracted from the interview.
@@sojournsmythe7627 you’ll fucking live.
That's good to know for her sake, but it doesn't make the interview any better for us as viewers
Love
Don't feel confortable with the interviewer. Very bad to be a college professor. I think that one from the Literature and/or the English Dept. will do excellent!
I've read very little of her work, but I wanted to hear what she had to say.
The interviewer is annoyingly intrusive, too much about himself and his relationship with her, as if he were a critic instead of an interviewer, especially at the beginning, when his smarmy insinuations seemed to make her uncomfortable and throw her off balance.
The interviewer... man... that guy's trying WAY too hard :/
What a horrible interview he is rudely biased. It’s so obvious that he needs to get a hold of himself. JCO is wise and in total control of her interview.
“Tweeter” sounds ‘bout right.

I wish she spoke about Racism in American Academia, especially the UC system where this Male teaches and Administers.
Novelist vs Journalist nice topic
The interviewer..smh... he just shouldn't be interviewing.
I was about the same age as Tawana Brawley and I saw the story on the news that night, and a white veteran police officer said "I don't know what happened to this girl but I know it was horrific," Somehow I believe the officer on the scene who impacted me as a young girl with his honest, experienced and emotional assessment. I think Oates doesn't know what she is talking about.
"Grifiki, is the Answer, Joyce."
It's a madd, madd, madd madd world...
...writing about people...the human dilemma...
She writes about how people.. not how we want to see them
She writes about how people are ..not how we want to see them
Gore Vidal put it best. "The 3 most depressing words in the english language are Joyce Carol Oates" .
LoL
Gore ‘it’s a conspiracy’ Vidal?
Vidal; was a self-important, egotistical, no talent loud mouth, dumbass. Just like you. He wrote books that only pretentious fools pretended to read, but didn't think any other writer in the world was as good as he was. Good riddance to him, and to any low IQ fool who quotes his bullshit.
I saw her advertisement for the master class and the advise she gave was terrible, and she seemed like a very pretentious writer surprised to see she is so accomplished, Maybe she was giving advise that she thought was plausible rather than authentic.
Uzair Akram What advice was terrible? I also saw an advert, and I thought the advice was particularly good, at least for me. Made me want to search for her here on youtube.
@@retornado20 She was saying something about being distracted by people or something. It seemed like a very narcissistic advice, like she was feeding into the narcissism of some writers. It was a master class add, and most people there tend be competent at what they teach but she didn't seem like it so I looked her up and was surprised. Different strokes for different folks I suppose
@@uzairakram899 The reason I'm here is for the same quote about distraction, and it seems most people liked and related to it going by their comments, reason why I'm searching for the exact clip.
I wish he would stop mansplaining her own work to her 🙄
