	A Book of American Martyrs - The story of two very different and yet intimately linked American families.

What is the aim or goal of your writing: Oates relationship with Michigan is commented upon in Michigan Quarterly Review: "If we had never come to the city of Detroit I would have been a writer (indeed, I had already written my first two books before coming here, aged twenty-three) but Detroit, my 'great' subject, made me the person I am, consequently the writer I am-for better or worse." Oates made this remark upon receiving honors from the University of Michigan in Michigan Today June 1992: "On this celebratory day, however, we need to recall that the life of the mind, the life of art and the life of civilization itself are not decreed by nature, but are the results of human imagination and ceaseless effort."
