"'A Fair Maiden' existed in notes and sketches……" — Joyce Carol Oates

"'A Fair Maiden' existed in notes and sketches for perhaps a year. When I traveled, I would take along with me my folder of notes - 'ideas for stories.' Eventually, I began to write it and wrote it fairly swiftly - in perhaps two months of fairly intense writing and rewriting. Most of my time writing is really re-writing."

— Joyce Carol Oates
