Click this link for a podcast reading of the Oates story. The voice is a bit eccentric (and I wouldn’t listen to this in the dark) but you may enjoy it!

Activity 4

You may have wondered why this story is dedicated to Bob Dylan. Click this link for a Wall Street Journal article, which explains the author’s dedication of “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” to the iconic folk singer Bob Dylan.
