Book Reviews of Joyce Carol Oates's "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?": A Study Guide from Gale's "Short Stories for Students" (Volume 01, Chapter 18)
Book Review: One of America's most contoversial stories
Summary: 5 Stars
Oates's "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" is, to the untrained reader, about a young, flirtatious girl named Connie who gets a visit from a boy she's never met before while her family is at a barbecue, as Connie fixes her hair at home. He offers Connie a ride, and after displaying great knowledge about Connie's personal life, saying that "her family won't be coming back for a while," Connie is persuaded, almost forced, to join him. The story ends.
But, there is a whole other side to this story. One thing will always represent another. Oates's clever use of symbolism really makes this story quite a challenge to dissect completely, even to a trained reader. A strongly feminist story, I recommend it.
