Oates attributes her enormous output to a love of writing and a Protestant work ethic. She has turned her pen to numerous subjects including professional boxing, Marilyn Monroe, Detroit and a memoir of life after the death of her first husband. All while still working as a full time academic. Razia Iqbal asks after so much work is it still as rewarding as it has always been? (Image: Joyce Carol Oates, Credit: Getty Images)
