Joyce Carol Oates Alert

If keeping up with her publishing schedule isn't bad enough, the Washington Post reports that Joyce Carol Oates' theatrical adaptation of The Tattooed Girl will make its premiere at Washington's Theater J. Oates will also be writing Van Helsing 2: They Needed Real Writers for Universal. Efforts were made to pry the pen away from Ms. Oates' hand, but she remained stubbornly resistant and even penned a short story during the unsuccessful attempts to stop her from writing.

Any truth to the rumor that D. Eggers is an Updike/Oates love child?

Oh Ed, and this will add grist for your mill, as she's the author of this newly released pseudonymous book, too.
