Synopsis
Powerful stories of dislocation, longing and desire which depict a disenchanted and rebellious urban fringe generation that is groping for human connection. (Or, more simply put, the angst of people-who-wear-black.)

Mary Gaitskill, a graduate of the University of Michigan, is also the author of TWO GIRLS FAT AND THIN, A NOVEL. She lives in Marin County, California.
Review
''Pinteresque...Ms. Gaitskill writes with such authority, such radar-perfect detail, that she is able to make even the most extreme situations seem real...[her] reportorial candor, uncompromised by sentimentality or voyeuristic charm...underscores the strength of her debut.'' -- Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
''Ferocious, terrifying stories, skillful as they are scary. Gaitskill's voice and talents are wonderfully new, as honest as rain, and as welcome in a long, dry season.'' --Alice Adams
''A thrilling journey into the deep anxieties of romance and desire...Stunning.'' --Frederick Exley
''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
