Joyce Carol Oates's Wonderland Quartet comprises four remarkablenovels that explore social class in America and the inner lives ofyoung Americans. In Expensive People, Oates takes a provocative andsuspenseful look at the roiling secrets of America's affluentsuburbs. Set in the late 1960s, this first-person confession isnarrated by Richard Everett, a precocious and obese boy who seeshimself as a minor character in the alarming drama unfolding aroundhim. Fascinated by yet alienated from his attractive, self-absorbedparents and the privileged world they inhabit, Richard incisivelyanalyzes his own mismanaged childhood, his pretentious privateschooling, his "successful-executive" father, and his elusivemother. In an act of defiance and desperation, eleven-year-oldRichard strikes out in a way that presages the violence ofever-younger Americans in the turbulent decades to come.

Stephen Rojack is a decorated war hero, a former Congressman,and a certified public intellectual with his own television show.He is also married to the very rich, very beautiful, and utterlyamoral Deborah Caughlin Kelly. But one night, in the prime of hisexistence, he hears the moon talking to him on the terrace of afashionable New York high-rise, and it is urging him to killhimself. It is almost as a defense against that infinitelyseductive voice that Rojack murders his wife. In this wildbattering ram of a novel, which was originally published to vastcontroversy in 1965, Norman Mailer creates a character who might bea fictional precursor of the philosopher-killer he would laterprofile in "The Executioner's Song." As Rojack runs amok throughthe city in which he was once a privileged citizen, Mailer peelsaway the layers of our social norms to reveal a world of pureappetite and relentless cruelty. Sensual, horrifying, and informedby a vision that is one part Nietzsche, one part de Sade, and onepart Charlie Par
