Status Updates From Bad Behavior: Stories

"Trying to be" - Decided to give Gaitskill one more chance on a sick day and I'm glad I did. This was very good, hit close to home for something I've been feeling often in this first year living in NYC.

One story in and I think she might change my life

I love a book that feels like it’s about sex and nihilism

woahhhh, a romantic weekend. this one was very uncomfortable but shows the reality about the different fantasies women and men have. wack

1/2 way done.. NYC underbelly in the 80s.. Her writing paints a picture that taps deep in your soul

"Connection" - Every story in this collection makes me so bored, so annoyed, so ready to form A Take, and then there's something mildly interesting I find that pokes through and prevents me from DNFing the whole thing (Lethem has sung the praises of Gaitskill multiple times and I just don't see why). As mid as it gets.

fucking love this so far

"An Affair, Edited" - A story, I guess, about weak women and how people in college seem annoying the moment you leave.

Every story continues to be at my personal Mendoza Line for fiction
