A haunting new novel from Joyce Carol Oates. Mudgirl is a child abandoned by her mother in the silty flats of the Black Snake River. Cast aside, Mudgirl survives by an accident of fate - or destiny. Only when she is adopted by a Quaker family does she begin to suppress those painful memories. Meredith 'M. R.' Neukirchen is the first woman president of a prestigious Ivy League university whose commitment to her career and moral fervor are all-consuming. But with an emergent political crisis and a prolonged secret love affair, M. R. has to confront challenges to her professional leadership which test her in ways she could not have expected. The fierce idealism and intelligence that delivered her from a more conventional life in her hometown now threaten to undo her. When she makes a trip upstate, M. R. Neukirchen is thrust into an unexpected psychic collision with Mudgirl and the life M. R. believes she has left behind. A powerful exploration of the enduring claims of the past, 'Mudwoman' is at once a psychic ghost story and the heartbreaking portrait of an individual who breaks - but finds a way to heal herself.

Abandonnée par SA mère à demi-folle au milieu des marais de l?Adirondacks, Mudgirl, l?enfant de la boue, est sauvée on ne sait trop comment, puis adoptée par un brave couple de Quakers qui l?élèvera avec tendresse en s?efforçant toujours de la protéger des conséquences de son horrible histoire. Devenue Meredith 'M.R' Neukirchen, première femme présidente d?une université de grand renom, Mudgirl, brillante et irréprochable, fait preuve d?un dévouement total à l?égard de SA carrière et d?une ferveur morale intense quant à son rôle. Mais précisément épuisée par la conception d?une rigidité excessive qu?elle a des devoirs de SA charge, tourmentée par ses relations mal définies avec un amant secret et fuyant, inquiète de la crise grandissante que traverse les États-Unis à la veille d?une guerre avec l?Iraq (crise qui la contraint à s?engager sur un terrain politique dangereux) et confrontée à la classique malveillance sournoise des milieux académiques, M.R. se retrouve face à des défis qui la rongent de manière imprévisible. Un voyage sur les lieux qui l?ont vue naître, censé lui rendre un peu de l?équilibre qui lui échappe, va au contraire la jeter dans une terrifiante collision psychique avec son enfance et menacer de l?engloutir une fois encore, mais dans la folie. Cette impitoyable exploration des fantômes du passé, doublée du portrait intime d?une femme ayant percé le plafond de verre à un coût gigantesque, fait de ce livre ainsi que lía proclamé la critique, 'un géant parmi les grands romans de Oates'.

A haunting new novel from one of America's most prolific and respected novelists. Mudgirl is a child abandoned by her mother in the silty flats of the Black Snake River. Cast aside, Mudgirl survives by an accident of fate - or destiny. After her rescue, she will slowly forget her own origin, her past erased, her future uncertain. The well-meaning couple who adopt Mudgirl quarantine her poisonous history behind the barrier of their Quaker values: compassion, modesty, and hard work - seemingly sealing it off forever. But the bulwark of the present proves surprisingly vulnerable to the agents of the past. Meredith 'M.R.' Neukirchen is the first woman president of a prestigious Ivy League university whose commitment to her career and moral fervor for her role are all-consuming. Involved with a secret lover whose feelings for her are teasingly undefined, concerned with the intensifying crisis of the American political climate as the United States edges toward a declaration of war with Iraq, M.R. is confronted with challenges to her professional leadership which test her in ways she could not have expected. The fierce idealism and intelligence that delivered her from a more conventional life in her upstate New York hometown now threaten to undo her. A reckless trip upstate thrusts M.R. Neukirchen into an unexpected psychic collision with Mudgirl and the life M.R. believes she has left behind. A powerful exploration of the enduring claims of the past, 'Mudwoman' is at once a psychic ghost story and an intimate portrait of an individual who breaks - but finds a way to heal herself.
