This is a witty and miserable collection of short stories, focusing on some truly terrible and sad people (ranging from selfish to homophobic to lonely to despondent) who do exactly what they want to without thinking of others. Some of the views expressed (on gender roles particularly) date the stories very clearly as from the 20th century, but Gaitskill includes a great deal of feminism to counteract this. I enjoyed it, and will be reading more from her in the future.
