Mudwoman: '''''Mudwoman''''' is 2012 novel by Joyce Carol Oates. The novel is a psychological horror and campus novel , which follows the experience of a university president, M.R. Neukirchen, "haunted by her secret past as the child of a poor, mentally ill religious fanatic who tried to drown her in a riverside mudflat".
Oates says that the novel started as a "dream vision" describing it as "I saw a woman sitting at a large table wearing inappropriate, very heavy makeup that had dried, like mud, and was darker than her skin." Oates wrote the novel in response to the dream, and during a period that was hard for Oates: her husband died while she was drafting the novel. Kevin Nance of the ''Washington Post'' describes these two influences as creating a deeply autobiographical novel.
The novel reflects on themes of memory and mental health. Oates includes autobiographical elements like she does in other novels, using the fictional exploration of the "brutal world of her childhood" as a means of probing her fictional protagonist's psyche. The novel starts with a "psychotic mother abandoning her two small girls to die", and that scene follows M.R. Neukirchen throughout the novel. Emma Hagestadt of ''The Independent'' also describes Oates' approach to this often repeated plot device in fiction, as accented by " Oates's idiosyncratic eye for unsettling detail."
