It felt like one of those pure, beautiful dreams in which he was young again, and filled with the realization that the friends who had died, or gone away, or decided that they didn't like him anymore, had really been there all along, loving him. A piece of dream flickered, and he made out the lips and cheekbones of a tender woman, smiling as she leaned toward him. The phone rang, and the sound rippled through his pliant wakefulness, into the pending dream. But his wife had turned the answering machine up too loud again, and it attacked him with a garbled, furred roar that turned into the voice of his friend Norm.

Forum: Book News and Reviews "Veronica," Gaitskill's fourth book, marks something of a departure from her usual taut style. A rumination on the relationship between beauty and cruelty, it moves around disorientingly in time, as if to mimic the emotional distress of its narrator, Alison. A former model now in her late 40's, she is haunted by her friendship with Veronica, an older woman who died of AIDS. Alison herself has hepatitis C now and cleans offices in San Rafael, Calif., a Norma Desmond sunk to new lows. Once beautiful, her face is "broken, with age and pain coming through the cracks." She takes fistfuls of codeine so she can move her arm, injured in a car accident, enough to wash windows. It is hard for her to reconcile her decrepitude with her glittering memories of being a model in Paris - a life that crashed to a close after an affair with a powerful, corrupt agent ended badly.

29. BOOKFORUM | Oct/Nov 2005 mary gaitskill was Flannery O Connor with a flesh wound, spare and emotionally bloody. This was literature with lineage. In her new novel, Veronica, http://www.bookforum.com/archive/fall_05/proctor.html

Contrary to appearances, the poetics of the neon '80s weren't born in a cocaine-addled vacuum on the Lower East Side. Bret Easton Ellis's strung-out, unreliable first-person narrators knelt at the altar of Norwegian modernist Knut Hamsun. Tama Janowitz, cheerfully down-and-out, thinking about Kant and stepping in dog poop, was a low-rent Beckett. Tender and caustic, Gary Indiana was an updated Lily Bart madly rallying for a room in the house of mirth. Mary Gaitskill was Flannery O'Connor with a flesh wound, spare and emotionally bloody. This was literature with lineage. In her new novel, Veronica deal ; for that is the substance of what's revealed by the artist's unflinching, naked-making lens. Throughout two story collections and her 1991 novel, Two Girls, Fat and Thin Veronica Two Girls, Fat and Thin Veronica is a story that is dismantled into existence, as if the reader were examining a skeleton, bone by bone, without knowing what it was, how it connected, with only the vaguest sense of how it related to the human body. Veronica—a squat thirty-seven-year-old copy editor who chain-smokes, wears bow ties, talks like an ornery waitress in a truck stop, and got AIDS from her unfaithful bisexual boyfriend—is not the book's protagonist. She is, rather, the foil. The story instead revolves around Alison Owen, a suburban runaway turned supermodel turned temp turned model turned, twenty-five years later, faded beauty with a bum arm and hepatitis C, who cleans offices to supplement her welfare. Alison meets and befriends Veronica during a stint temping in New York City. In the present, Alison looks back on her heyday, reflecting on her naive attempts to comfort the sick woman and trying to make sense of the deep and unlikely attachment they shared. "Most people," criticizes a heartless boyfriend of Alison's after meeting Veronica, "when something like that happens, unless it's a really tight relationship, they run. That's when you

But I no longer feel the work of your hands. Forgive me for forgetting the joinings, the glue and pressing of thumbs, for allowing your craft to rot like salty wreckage spit in me even as I creak, even as I leak from windows A True Heart - Michael Levy Ah! the whispering mist-tickle trees, Enchanted forests of neurons cultivate delicate-seas, Radiance of light beams through wisdom's haze, Hidden mysteries as our free-path snakes many ways. No; this is no pastoral scene, It all takes place in a daytime dream, It is called life, a domicile within our mind, A home where the truth is so hard to find. Only when we discover words ... beyond be-lie-f. And grasp time from the clutches of a habitual thief, Only then will we realize that; there is no need to endure, A devil of a mind ... that has rejected the heartfelt universal law. A work of art so simply graceful, energizing the eternal spirit we employ

What are these? Reviewed by Mary Flanagan Friday, 7 December 2007 Two girls, beautiful and ugly, meet in an office in Eighties New York. Alison is a young model, seduced and abandoned by the fashion industry. Veronica is a fortysomething proof-reader with a fractious personality and an idiosyncratic blend of elegance and bad taste. "In her plaid suit, ruffled blouse and bow tie, she was like a human cuckoo-clock." She also has Aids. What Alison wonders, attracts her to this ruined fag-hag? Yet both have been willingly abused by a society devoid of compassion and tenderness. At 15, Alison flees her middle-American family to drift through Haight-Ashbury, dropping drugs and writing poetry until discovered by a lecherous entrepreneur. Stardom means Paris, parties, clubs, vile photographers, larcenous agents and more drugs. When she publicly insults her powerful lover, she is effectively blacklisted and her Swiss bank account frozen. Back on the skids in New York, she remains in thrall to this world of "demons and suffering", which she regards as "heaven" and claws back to, with disastrous results.

Her writing, however, remains finely honed, mesmerizing, and brutally honest. Veronica, Gaitskill's second novel, snagged a National Book Award nomination last year. Told in flashbacks over the course of a single day, the elegiac tale of an unusual friendship between two vastly different women is a powerful rumination on beauty, mortality, and some murky places in between. No stranger to edgy experience herself, Gaitskill was a teenage runaway and, briefly, a stripper before her literary life flourished. Victoria Lautman interviewed Gaitskill, who spoke by phone from her home in Rhinebeck, New York. Q: Did the National Book Award nomination launch you into a whole different success stratum?

Sign In Register Review: Serpent's Tail Veronica Mary Gaitskill View Gallery By Carmen Russell Sometimes friendship can be a stronger and more lasting relationship than anything romantic, but as buddy stories go, Mary Gaitskill's beautifully written, finely-crafted Veronica reads like skating on thin ice. This is the story of an unlikely friendship between two damaged and emotionally vulnerable women: Alison, a former model, and the older and more visibly eccentric Veronica of the title, a proofreader. They meet while Alison is treading water in office jobs in New York after she's abandoned posing for the camera. Alison is beautiful and Veronica is not, but nonetheless there are similarities beneath the surface.
