E-book exclusive: "Conceived in the Mode of Memoir," Afterword by Joyce Carol Oates.Funny, mordant, and compulsive, "Anellia" falls passionately in love with a brilliant yet elusive black philosophy student. But she is tested most severely by a figure out of her past she'd long believed dead."In those days in the early Sixties we were not women yet but girls. This was, without irony, perceived as our advantage."
