Industry Reviews
"[T]he sense of doom inexorably working itself out is simultaneously distasteful, logical, and dramatically just....We've been here before....But Oates has achieved memorable successes in the short-novel form, and, on balance, this is one of them."
Kirkus Reviews (11/01/2003)
"...RAPE: A LOVE STORY gives us Oates at her darkly enthralling best."
New York Times Book Review - Andrew Ervin (01/25/2004)
"This is an important book despite its frustrating brevity and its sometimes too simplistic characterization. All men should read it."
Literary Review - Lewis DeSoto (07/01/2005)
