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
