Oates wrote a new introduction for The Folio Society edition of The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoyevskyin 2021. In 2010 she was presented with the National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama. Together with her first husband she founded and edited a literary magazine, the Ontario Review, and an associated publishing house. First published in 1959, Shirley Jacksons The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. Oates taught writing at Princeton University from 1978 to 2014. Her best-received fictions include the Wonderland Quartet (1967–71) – the third volume, Them, won the National Book Award for Fiction in 1970 – and Blonde (2000), a fictional treatment of the life of Marilyn Monroe, which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Oates read widely in 19th-century fiction as a girl – and has cited Dostoyevsky as an early influence – before encountering classic works of modernism as a student at Syracuse University, all of which helped to shape her own writing. Since then, she has published a further 57 novels as well as many books of short stories, poems, plays and nonfiction.
