Joyce Carol Oates — 1938
Celebrated American author Joyce Carol Oates used to be a professor in the Creative Writing program at Princeton University. Her most significant books are Them, What I Lived For, Blonde, Black Water, The Wheel Of Love, and many others. Growing up in sheer poverty, Joyce was always quite happy though as they had a close-knit family.
She acquired a huge taste for reading all kinds of books and started writing at the age of 14. Banking on her talents, she earned a scholarship to Syracuse University. Her first novel came out in 1964 titled Shuddering Fall. Her prolific career and her amazing books have made her a huge contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature for several years now. Though she retired in 2014, she taught Creative Writing in Berkeley last year.
