Mary Gaitskill's tales of desire and dislocation in 1980s New York
caused a sensation with their frank, caustic portrayals of men and
women's inner lives. As her characters have sex, try and fail to
connect, play power games and inflict myriad cruelties on each
other, she skewers urban life with precision and candour.
'Stubbornly original, with a sort of rhythm and fine moments that
flatten you out when you don't expect it, these stories are a
pleasure to read' Alice Munro 'An air of Pinteresque menace hangs
over these people's social exchanges like black funereal bunting
... Gaitskill writes with such authority, such radar-perfect
detail' Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
