My Sister, My Love: The Intimate Story of Skyler Rampike

ISBN: 0061547492

Author: Oates, Joyce Carol

Condition: New

Herein is the unexpurgated first-person narrative of nineteen-year-old Skyler Rampike, the only surviving child of an "infamous" American family destroyed a decade ago by the murder of Skylers six-year-old ice-skating champion sister, Bliss, and the media scrutiny that followed. Part investigation into the unsolved murder, part elegy for the lost Bliss and for his own lost childhood, Skylers narrative is an alternately harrowing and corrosively funny exposé of upper-middle-class American pretensions-and an unexpectedly subtle and sympathetic exploration of those who dwell in "Tabloid Hell."
