- Synopsis
- National Book Award finalist Mary Gaitskill&’s classic debut collection from the 1980s—powerful stories of dislocation, longing, and desireNow towering and inevitable in its influence on writing by and for young urbanites, Bad Behavior heralded Mary Gaitskill&’s arrival on the literary scene and her establishment as one of the sharpest writing talents of her time, or any time: exquisitely funny and startlingly honest; bold and eye-opening on relationships, sex, and the erotic.Set in Manhattan's Lower East Side and peopled with artistic freelancers and intelligent sex workers, smug yuppies and love-torn masochists, Bad Behavior depicts a world equally cruel and tender, where romance and danger go hand in hand. Gaitskill delivers unforgettable stories of a disenchanted and rebellious urban fringe generation groping for human connection.
