Joyce Carol Oates has written some fine short stories, but she is not by nature a miniaturist. She tends to be most at home with big topics -- particularly patterns of violence in everyday life that reflect broader sociological issues -- couched in expansive, surging narratives. A short play like "Black," which is being presented by Women's Projects and Productions at the Intar Theater, can't comfortably accommodate all the weighty issues she stocks it with.

To the Editor: What does Joyce Carol Oates mean, in her essay on despair (July 25), by "the Catholic Church, as the self-appointed voice of God on earth"? Did not Jesus say to Peter and the apostles, "Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden"? (Rev.) VINCENT A. BROWN Rego Park, Queens
