Zero Sum by Joyce Carol Oates
Stories
A collection of unsettling short stories examining the ruthless calculus of gain and loss in human relationships. Across academic battlegrounds, intimate entanglements, and fraught social encounters, characters test the limits of power, desire, and moral responsibility, revealing predatory instincts beneath civilized veneers. The result is a disquieting portrait of ambition, obsession, and the costs of treating every encounter as a game to be won.
