Klappentext zu „Freaky Green Eyes “
""Later, I would think of it as crossing over. From a known territory into an unknown. From a place where people know you to a place where people only think they know you."
"
Sometimes Franky Pierson has a hard time dealing with life. Like when her parents separate and her mother vanishes, Franky wants to believe that her mom has simply pulled a disappearing act. Yet deep within herself, a secret part of her she calls Freaky Green Eyes knows that something is terribly wrong. And only Freaky can open Franky's eyes to the truth.

Rezension zu „Freaky Green Eyes “
"The relationship between Ursula and Matt grows, credibly and compellingly, against a convincing high school backdrop. Readers will relate to the pressures these two experience, both at school and from their parents, and be gratified by their ability to emerge the wiser." Publisher's Weekly Praise for Joyce Carol Oates' writing: "Miss Oates is one of our most audaciously talented writers. Her gift is so large, her fluency in different genres - poems, short stories, novels, essays - so great, that at times she seems to challenge the ability of readers to keep up with her." Erica Jong "One of the greatest writers of our time." John Gardner
Pressezitat
"Oates builds the mounting tension masterfully, crafting a fast-paced narrative that will haunt readers long after the final page." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
