Book description
A career-spanning collection by the legendary Mary Gaitskill - now in paperback'Mary Gaitskill is willing to think about the problematic with complexity and humanity, and without taking sides or engaging in all the fashionable moral hectoring that passes for serious thought these days.' Eimear McBrideNuanced, daring and tender, these essays from the celebrated author of βThis is Pleasure and βBad Behavior, consistently fascinate and provoke. Mary Gaitskill takes on a broad range of topics from Nabokov to horse-riding with her unique ability to tease out unexpected truths and cast aside received wisdom.Written with startling grace and linguistic flair, and delving into the complicated nature of love and the responsibility we owe to the people we encounter, the work collected here inspires the reader to think beyond their first responses to life and art. Spanning thirty years of Mary Gaitskill's writing, and covering subjects as diverse as βDancer in the Dark, the world of Charles Dickens and the Book of Revelation with her characteristic blend of sincerity and wit, βOppositions is never less than enthralling.
