ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The most private and striking account written by Joyce Carol Oates. On a gray February morning in 2008, Joyce Carol Oates drove her ailing husband, Raymond Smith, to the emergency room of the Princeton Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia. In less than a week, Ray died from a hospitalacquired virulent infection-- and Joyce was suddenly faced with the stunning reality of widowhood.
