The intense, caustically funny first novel from the bestselling
author of Bad Behaviour 'Dark, menacing and original' Joanna
Briscoe, Guardian Dorothy Never - fat - lives alone in New York,
eats and works the night shift as a proofreader. Justine Shade -
thin - is a freelance journalist who sleeps with unsuitable men.
Both are isolated. Both are damaged by their pasts. When Justine
interviews Dorothy about her involvement with an infamous and
charismatic philosophical guru, the two women are drawn together
with an intense magnetism that throws their lives off balance. Mary
Gaitskill's first novel is an intense, darkly funny and caustic
portrayal of loneliness and the search for intimacy. 'What makes
her scary, and what makes her exciting, is her ability to evoke the
hidden life, the life unseen, the life we don't even know we are
living' Parul Sehgal, The New York Times
