The intense, caustically funny first novel from the bestselling author of Bad
Behaviour
'Dark, menacing and original' Joanna Briscoe, Guardian
Dorothy Never - fat - lives alone in New York, eats and works the night shift as
a proofreader. Justine Shade - thin - is a freelance journalist who sleeps with
unsuitable men. Both are isolated. Both are damaged by their pasts. When Justine
interviews Dorothy about her involvement with an infamous and charismatic
philosophical guru, the two women are drawn together with an intense magnetism
that throws their lives off balance. Mary Gaitskill's first novel is an intense,
darkly funny and caustic portrayal of loneliness and the search for intimacy.
'What makes her scary, and what makes her exciting, is her ability to evoke the
hidden life, the life unseen, the life we don't even know we are living' Parul
Sehgal, The New York Times
