Synopsis
A trade paperback reissue of National Book Award finalist Mary GaitskillâÈçs debut collection, Bad BehaviorâÈ'powerful stories about dislocation, longing, and desire which depict a disenchanted and rebellious urban fringe generation that is searching for human connection. âÈò Now a classic: Bad Behavior made critical waves when it first published, heralding GaitskillâÈçs arrival on the literary scene and her establishment as one of the sharpest, erotically charged, and audaciously funny writing talents of contemporary literature. Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times called it âÈêPinteresque,âÈë saying, âÈêMs. Gaitskill writes with such authority, such radar-perfect detail, that she is able to make even the most extreme situations seem realâÈö her reportorial candor, uncompromised by sentimentality or voyeuristic charmâÈöunderscores the strength of her debut.âÈë
