Joyce Carol Oates made waves with a tweet that blended humor and existential reflection on Halloween, highlighting society's casual relationship with death. Her post, featuring a festive display of skeletons, sparked a mix of confusion and delight online. Oates' commentary diverges from typical cultural discourse, positioning her as a unique voice in social media. Over the past decade, her tweets have formed an eclectic body of work illustrating her as not just a novelist, but a 'poet laureate of social media' amid a tumultuous political backdrop.
In an increasingly polarised political world, it's rare to encounter such a rogue and bafflingly strong opinion like this out of nowhere.
This is more than just a one-off phenomenon; it's a bewildering array of classic Joyce Carol Oates tweets, making a compelling case for Twitter's greatest poster.
