1Note: We have striven to make this bibliography as extensive as possible, in the hopes that it will help future scholars in their research. Nevertheless, a complete bibliography of Joyce Carol Oates’s publications can hardly be exhaustive for she has written numerous short essays for magazines and newspapers that are difficult to locate, and published stories in magazines that are no longer in circulation and/or have not been indexed anywhere. We would like to acknowledge the bibliographical work of Randy Souther, whose online tool “The Glass Ark: A Joyce Carol Oates Bibliography” has been a valuable resource in the process of putting together this document.
