Oooooh. The lovely Jordan has Mary Gaitskill on her show on December 7th. You won’t want to miss that. I won’t be missing it.
I’ve not read Veronica yet (and I never read Two Girls, though I own a copy) but Bad Behavior remains one of my favorite short story collections. I remember when my friend Jeff thrust (he did thrust it!) it into my hands something like fifteen years ago and said, “You should read this.” And I did. And when I did, I thought, “Wow. It’s okay to say these things. To be honest. To show ourselves as we are.”
