  • "Un quartier populaire d'une petite ville ouvrière de l'Etat de New York dans les années 1950. Cinq lycéennes - Maddy, la narratrice, Goldie, Lana, Rita et Legs -, pour survivre et se venger des humiliations qu'elles ont subies, concluent un pacte, à la vie, à la mort : elles seront le gang Foxfire. La haine, surtout celle des hommes, va les entraîner dans une impitoyable équipée sauvage. Dans une langue crue, précise et concrète, Joyce Carol Oates dépeint la "fureur de vivre" des cinq inséparables et leurs accès de générosité envers d'autres déshérités. Comme toujours chez l'auteur de Blonde, le Mal est d'autant plus vraisemblable qu'il nous ressemble... [Source : 4e de couv.]."
  • "Dans une petite ville ouvrière de l'Etat de New York, dans les années 1950, cinq lycéennes forment une bande vouée à l'orgueil, au pouvoir et à la vengeance dans un monde qu'elles n'ont jamais intégré. Il y a Maddy Monkey, la narratrice, Goldie au tempérament explosif, Lana qui fume des Chesterfield, Rita et Legs Sadovsky dont la rage va embraser le gang."
  • ""The time is the 1950s. The place is a blue-collar town in upstate New York, where five high school girls are joined in a gang dedicated to pride, power, and vengeance on a world that seems made to denigrate and destroy them ... Here is a secret history of a sisterhood of blood, a haven from a world of male oppressors, mareked by a liberating fury that burns too hot to last. Above all, it is the story of Legs Sadovsky, with her lean, on-the-edge, icy beauty, whose nerve, muscle, hate, and hurt make her the spark of Foxfire, its guiding light, its burning core ... Amid scenes of violence and vengeance lies this novel's greatest power: the exquisite, astonishing rendering of the bonds that link the Foxfire girls together ...""@en
  • "The time is the 1950s. The place is a blue-collar town in upstate New York, where five high school girls are joined in a gang dedicated to pride, power, and vengeance on a world they never made - a world that seems made to denigrate and destroy them. Foxfire is Joyce Carol Oates' strongest and most unsparing novel yet ... an often engrossing, often shocking evocation of female rage, gallantry, and grit. Here, then, are the Foxfire chronicles - the secret history of a sisterhood of blood, a haven from a world of lechers and oppressors, marked by a liberating fury that burns too hot to last. It is the story of Maddy Monkey, who writes it ... of Goldie, whose womanly body masks a fierce, explosive temper ... of Lana, with her Marilyn Monroe hair and packs of Chesterfields ... of timid Rita, whose humiliation leads to the first act of Foxfire revenge. Above all, it is the story of Legs Sadovsky, with her lean, on-the-edge, icy beauty, whose nerve, muscle, hate, and hurt make her the spark of Foxfire, its guiding spirit, its burning core. At once brutal and lyrical, this is a careening joyride of a novel - charged with outlaw energy and lit by intense emotion. The story moves over the years from the first eruption of adolescent anger at sexual abuse to a shared life financed by luring predatory men into traps baited with sex. But then the gang's very success leads to disaster - as Foxfire makes a last tragic stand against a society intent on swallowing it up. Yet amid scenes of violence, sexual abuse, exploitation, and vengeance lies this novel's greatest power: the exquisite, astonishing rendering of the bonds that link the girls of Foxfire together - especially that between Maddy, the teller of the tale, and Legs, whose quintessential strength and bedrock bravery make her one of the most vivid and vital heroines in modern fiction."@en
