3/23/14 review of the novel Carthage by Joyce Carol Oates

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the Joyce Carol Oates novel Carthage.

In all of my 2012 and 2013 Twitter reviews, I posted each tweet separately. This was -- I think -- the first Twitter review that I posted as a single thread.

My Twitter review discusses Carthage as a Spring ritual story; the characters I identify with in the novel; the inner and outer lives of the characters; the lyrical memory passages of the story; how the book uses the history of the Good Thief, Saint Dismas; analogies for death; and the executioner in literature.
