Inspired by a magazine story about a serial killer, its remarkable portrait of the dreamy teenager Connie has made it a feminist classic. Connie's life anticipates the emergence of American society from the social innocence of the fifties into the harsher contemporary realities of war, random violence, and crime. The story was the basis for the movie \u003ci\u003eSmooth Talk, \u003c\/i\u003e which became the subject of much feminist debate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis casebook includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology of Oates's life, an authoritative text of \"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been,\" an essay by Oates on \u003ci\u003eSmooth Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, the original \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e article about the serial killer, ten critical essays (including two about the film), and a bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributors are Brenda O.
