'An Old Virgin' describes a nurse's obsession with her forty-three-year-old
patient's virginity; in the urban fable 'Mirrorball' a man steals a girl's soul
during a one-night stand; 'College Town 1980' follows a group of listless young
people adrift in Ann Arbor, debating the meaning of personal strength at the
start of the Reagan era; 'Folk Song' opens with a list of newspaper headlines
before dissecting the lives of the characters behind the features, including a
murderer who gives a prime-time interview and a woman from San Francisco
attempting to break a world record by having sex with one thousand men.
Full of jagged, lived emotion, broken people and powerful, original writing,
Don't Cry is a testament to Gaitskill's formal range and incomparable excavation
of character.
