Mary Gaitskill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Mary Gaitskill Born November 11 Lexington, Kentucky U.S. Occupation writer Nationality American Mary Gaitskill (born November 11 , in Lexington, Kentucky) is an American author of essays, short stories and novels. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker Harper's Magazine Esquire The Best American Short Stories (1993 and 2006), and The O. Henry Prize Stories (1998). She married writer Peter Trachtenberg in 2001. As of 2005, she lived in New York City; Gaitskill has previously lived in Toronto, San Francisco, and Marin County, CA, as well as attending the University of Michigan where she earned her B.A. and won a Hopwood Award . Gaitskill has recounted (in her essay "Revelation") becoming a born-again Christian at age 21 but lapsing after six months. Gaitskill made her book debut in 1988 with the short-story collection Bad Behavior , having been trying to publish her work since the age of 23. Her fiction typically is about female characters dealing with their own inner conflicts, and her subject matter matter-of-factly includes many "taboo" subjects such as prostitution addiction , and sado-masochism . Gaitskill says that she herself had worked as a stripper and call girl. She showed similar candor discussing her being raped in her essay "On Not Being a Victim" for Harper's The film Secretary (2002) is based on the short story of the same name in Bad Behavior , although the two have little in common. She characterized the film as "the

M ary G aitskill photo credit: Judy Axenson April 6, 2006 (Thursday) 4:15 p.m. Seminar Campus Center 375 8:00 p.m. Reading Recital Hall, PAC UAlbany's Uptown Campus M ary G aitskill 's new novel "Veronica" (2005), was listed as one of the "10 Best Books of 2005" by the "New York Times" and was a finalist for this year's National Book Award. The novel also appeared on the January 2006 bestseller lists of both the "Los Angeles Times" and the "San Francisco Chronicle." Set primarily in Paris and Manhattan amid the excess and debauchery of the 1980s art scene, "Veronica" presents the complex friendship between Allison, a former teen runaway, party girl, and fashion model, and Veronica, an eccentric older woman. "a masterly examination of the relationship between surface and self, culture and fashion, time and memory . . . [Gaitskill's] palpable talent puts her among the most eloquent and perceptive contemporary fiction writers." - "The New York Times Book Review" "Gaitskill perfectly evokes the ambience of the 1970s and 1980s: the trance of pop music, the ubiquitous drugs, fashion's sadomasochistic bent, the lust for wealth, and the quiet terror of AIDS. And . . . she zeros in on the vagaries of the mind as she considers beauty and disease, betrayal and loyalty, and fear and compassion in a raw-nerves novel that is at once elegiac, funny, and life affirming." - "Booklist" (starred review) Because They Wanted To (1997), which was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award, presents a number of unhappy, unhealthy and emotionally complicated sexual encounters. It is very much a sequel to an earlier story collection

10. Bookreporter.com - VERONICA By Mary Gaitskill Mary Gaitskill, author of BAD BEHAVIOR and other acclaimed fiction, explores the gritty places in 80s culture in her latest novel VERONICA and finds, http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews2/0375421459.asp

var gDcsId = "dcs30w0vc10000chxa0maatv9_2u6z"; VERONICA Mary Gaitskill Pantheon Fiction ISBN: 0375421459 The 1980s were a time of glittery prosperity and optimism in America. We were a society tuned into "Dallas" and "Dynasty" and "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," although most of us were working hard to make ends meet. Looking back we can see the excess and the darkness just beneath the rich and shiny surface. It was then that the AIDS epidemic came into our collective consciousness, and into our hospitals and homes. Mary Gaitskill, author of BAD BEHAVIOR and other acclaimed fiction, explores the gritty places in '80s culture in her latest novel VERONICA and finds, beneath the glamour, loneliness and sickness as well as the hope of salvation. The protagonist and narrator of VERONICA is Alison. As an aimless and disaffected teenager Alison runs away from home and heads to edgy San Francisco. She lives in a world of drugs and casual sex and is discovered by a seedy photographer and transformed into a fashion model. Soon she is in front of the camera in Paris. Her fast-paced life may seem enviable, but it is really empty and soul-numbing. Alison's success in Paris lasts only as long as her affair with an influential man, and when it is over she finds herself in New York working as a temp and half-heartedly trying to revive her modeling career. It is in New York where she meets Veronica, a kooky, abrasive, middle-aged proofreader with eccentric taste and an abusive boyfriend. Despite, or perhaps because of, their obvious differences, Alison and Veronica become friends. Over the years the two emotionally damaged women find solace in each other's company even though they often seem at odds with each other. Veronica's struggle with AIDS further complicates their relationship, but Alison remains loyal to her. And, as Alison starts to realize, the two are not as different as they appear.

Add Yours By Emily Nussbaum Published Nov 6, 2005 (Photo: George Pitts) J ust before I left my apartment to meet Mary Gaitskill, I slipped off my engagement ring. It just seemed . . . uncool. Too conventional, maybe, and the Mary Gaitskill I had stuck in my head seemed like the type of person who might not approve—that Greenwich Village waif with the dyed-red bob and deadpan gaze, whose predilection for tales of kink and misery suggested she might disdain such bourgeois display. Instead, the Mary Gaitskill who showed up on Sixth Avenue looked way more like Marilyn Monroe, if Marilyn Monroe had lived happily ever after. She had the same high cheekbones and big eyes as in her iconic author photos, but she was drained all over to a uniform lemony white: pale skin, a vanilla cashmere turtleneck and white-blonde shoulder-length hair. As we settled into a booth at Café Loup, my eyes were drawn immediately to her hands, where I was startled to see a thick gold wedding band and a honking diamond right out of an engagement-ring ad. Well, hello.

Her first story collection, Bad Behavior , was full of high-concept naughtiness: women turning tricks in New York City, doing Dexedrine for days, getting spanked by the big bad boss and getting a big fat check to keep quiet. (The latter story became the film Secretary , which was a comparative Disney cartoon.) Her stories were told the way Debbie Harry delivered lyrics: matter-of-fact, offhand, but with sparks everywhere. Like Harry, Gaitskill's net effect was hard to process and easy to categorize. Maybe it was her openness about her past as a stripper, maybe it was her later role in discovering J.T. Leroy, but somewhere along the line she got this reputation as the Queen of Sexual Transgression, which sells her way short. Yes, her stories were about explicit, non-PC sex, but

Interview with Mary Gaitskill by Alexander Laurence (c) 1994 Q How long have you lived in San Francisco? Mary Gaitskill I've only been here for five months. I went back and forth between Marin County and New York City for a while. Then I ran out of money, so I don't have my place in New York anymore. I moved to San Francisco because I started to go nuts in Marin. I realize that Marin County repels many people, but I didn't feel that way because I wanted to live somewhere that was very quiet and didn't demand anything of me. It's been hard for me to get connected to San Francisco. I'm not sure why. A lot of my life here has been very internal, but that's always been true of me. Q You sound like you don't drive? MG No, I don't. Which is one of the reasons that I liked being in Marin, because without a car, everything had to slow down to one mile an hour. You wouldn't think from my demeanor that I would require that, but I can be very amped up, even though I don't show it. Everything was slow like silly putty. That was good for me at the time. My internal state was so chaotic that I needed to be somewhere that wasn't going to reflect that back to me. Two Girls, Fat and Thin

2005 National Book Awards Finalist Fiction Photo credit: Joe Gaffney Mary Gaitskill Veronica Pantheon Mary Gaitskill is the author of Bad Behavior , a collection of short stories, and Two Girls, Fat and Thin, a novel . Her previous book was Because They Wanted To , which was nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Award in 1998. Her stories and essays have appeared in (1993) and The O.Henry Prize Stories (1998). The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, she teaches creative writing at Syracuse University. Mary Gaitskill is an unforgiving writer, harsh, caustic and raw. All that masks the enormous accomplishment of her work, the ability to use the dark to cast light. With Veronica she is at the height of her narrative powers, evoking the indelible friendship of two women while zigzagging through time, place and the far reaches of the mind. In the process she manages the ultimate hat trick of fiction: appalling, shocking, even offensive, but at the end of the day enormously illuminating. An utterly honest book from someone who understands and evokes the cul-de-sacs of the soul.
