'A writer of prodigious gifts' Guardian Full of jagged, complex
emotion and powerful, incisive writing, the stories in Don't Cry
are a testament to Mary Gaitskill's incomparable excavation of
character. 'An Old Virgin' describes a nurse's obsession with her
forty-three-year-old patient's virginity; 'Folk Song' dissects the
lives of people behind newspaper headlines, including a murderer
who gives a prime-time interview and a woman attempting to break a
world record by having sex with one thousand men; in the title
story 'Don't Cry', a grieving widow reflects on her marriage whilst
accompanying a friend on a journey to adopt an Ethiopian orphan
during a violent election season; and a musician accidentally
steals a girl's soul during a one-night stand in the urban fable
'Mirrorball'. The provocative, searching stories of Don't Cry
remind us that no experiences should be taken lightly, but instead
explored for their physical, emotional and even spiritual
revelations.
