Too bad no one thought to ask Anne Rice
I knew Slate must have had a good reason to ask novelists who they're voting for. It was so Old Hag could parody it.
Joyce Carol Oates: Like virtually everyone I know, I'm voting for Kerry. And probably for exactly the same reasons. To enumerate these reasons, to repeat yet another time the fundamental litany of liberal principles that need to be reclaimed and revitalized, seems to be redundant and unnecessary, unlike my 528 books, each one of which is absolutely dundant and necessary.
