"A Garden Of Earthly Delights" by Joyce Carol Oates is the first book of "The Wonderland Quartet." It follows one Clara Walpole’s ill-fated life and the four men who shaped it. Clara’s father, a bitter migrant farm worker, Lowry, who whisks the teenage Clara away and tempts her with love, Revere, a wealthy married business man who gives Clara stability and Swan, Clara’s son who carries the physiological burden of Clara’s determination to escape her haphazard existence of violence and poverty.
For a recent Modern Library edition of the novel, Oates revised ¾ of the original published version of the novel.
