In this episode, we fangirl over Joyce Carol Oates and we offer our interpretations of Arnold Friend, a sinister, devilish character from the short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" Stay tuned for some valuable shelf awareness. Disclaimer: We will be discussing difficult topics like sexual assault. If these subjects bother you, we suggest you not listen to this episode. Listener discretion is advised. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shelfawareness-podcast/message
