New York, NY 10010, U.S.A.: Pantheon, 2009. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Beginning with a story of young people adrift in the college town of Ann Arbor on the cusp of the Reagan era and ending with the complex quest of a middle-aged woman to adopt a child in Addis Ababa, Gaitskill works across a broad backdrop of American life and brilliantly delivers her signature pleasures: prose as taut as a high-tension line, a supreme command of the interior landscape, and characters as real as the secret faces that peer back at us from the mirror.

Her settings are a surprising mix of real and surreal: in the urban fairy tale "Mirror Ball" a young man steals a girl's soul during a one-night stand, while… Read More
