Bad Behavior: Stories

Bad Behavior: Stories

A trade paperback reissue of National Book Award finalist Mary Gaitskillâ‚¬s debut collection, Bad Behaviorâ‚¬"powerful stories about dislocation, longing, and desire which depict a disenchanted and rebellious urban fringe generation that is searching for human connection.

â‚¬ Now a classic: Bad Behavior made critical waves when it first published, heralding Gaitskillâ‚¬s 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 â‚¬Å“Pinteresque,â‚¬Â saying, â‚¬Å“Ms. Gaitskill writes with such authority, such radar-perfect detail, that she is able to make even the most extreme situations seem realâ‚¬Â¦ her reportorial candor, uncompromised by sentimentality or voyeuristic charmâ‚¬Â¦underscores the strength of her debut.â‚¬Â
