3 of 5 stars
Read in September, 2009

I grabbed this book because everyone who reviews short stories seems to hold Gaitskill as the best of the genre. Although she can really write, I did not enjoy the reading. Miserable characters in unappealing situations, making bad choices. No one is ever happy, including the reader. I have read some very disturbing stories this summer (Oprah's latest selection!) but this collection is entirely forgettable.
