The Ecco Anthology of Contemporary American Short Fiction | Joyce Carol Oates, Christopher R. Beha

so-so

I was excited to get my hands on a new short story by Oates, but I don‘t know what to make of it. The ambiguity is thick. Is it a story of a teacher acting inappropriately towards her students? Is it a story of a boy who couldn‘t suppress his sexual deviance and “embellished” their interactions in his own mind? A little of both? It would be a much better as a full-length novel, rather than a 70 page quickie.
