Mary Gaitskill returns with a luminous new collection of storiesโher first in more than ten years.
In โCollege Town 1980,โ young people adrift in Ann Arbor, Michigan, debate the meaning of personal strength at the start of the Reagan era; in the urban fairy tale โMirror Ball,โ a young man steals a girlโs soul during a one-night stand; and in โThe Little Boy,โ a woman haunted by the death of her husband is finally able to grieve through a mysterious encounter with a needy child.
Each story delivers the powerful, original language and the dramatic engagement of the intelligent mind with the craving bodyโor of the intelligent body with the craving mindโthat has come to be seen as stunningly emblematic of Gaitskillโs fiction.
