She had what she describes as a difficult adolescence, running away from home at sixteen to become a stripper and spending time in mental institutions. She has said that this background is of limited relevance to my writing except for one thing: my experience of life as essentially unhappy and uncontrollable taught me to examine the way people, including myself, create survival systems and psychological "safe" places for themselves in unorthodox and sometimes apparently self-effacing ways. These inner worlds, although often unworkable and unattractive in social terms, can have a unique beauty and courage.

Mary Gaitskill Profile Mary Gaitskill was born in 1954 in Lexington, Kentucky, the daughter of a teacher and a social worker. She had what she describes as a difficult adolescence, running away from home at sixteen to become a stripper. In 1981 Gaitskill graduated from the University of Michigan, where she won an award for her collection of short fiction The Woman Who Knew Judo and Other Stories Sites http://directory.google.com/Top/Arts/Literature/Authors/G/Gaitskill,_Mary Books Bad Behavior - Mary Gaitskill [Amazon US] Fierce, raw tales of love and sex and obsessionnot since Ethan Canin's Emperor of the Air has there been such excitement surrounding a debut short-story collection. First time in paperback. Ingram "Bad Behavior" is a collection of nine short stories by Mary Gaitskill, most of which take place in Manhattan or Chicago. The first one, "Daisy's Valentine", is about a man named Joey who falls for his coworker, Daisy. "Daisy's Valentine" sets the pattern for most of Gaitskill's stories, all of which typically leave the reader a little confused and frustrated about the unresolved situations and abrupt endings in this book. "A Romantic Weekend" is anything but. It starts as a planned

Sexual needs, practices and obsessions also reveal much about each character's defeated hopes, innermost fears, and buried sufferings. Because They Wanted To (1997), presents a number of unhappy, unhealthy and emotionally complicated sexual encounters. It is very much a sequel to an earlier story collection, Bad Behavior (1988, Vintage Contemporaries, ISBN 0-679-72327-7), which startled reviewers with its lucid examinations of sadomasochism, drug addiction, prostitution and other self-destructive behaviors. Two Girls, Fat and Thin (1991), which explores the odd relationship between its title characters, one sexually reckless and promiscuous, and other socially isolated and abstinent. Though both women are survivors of sexual abuse in childhood, each plays out the consequences of that trauma in a radically different way. The Woman Who Knew Judo and Other Stories "[the novel] offers a potent picture of an America promoted by advertisinga place where physical looks, good or bad, are paramount, where adolescent hell is a life's central episode and one that lasts much longer than high school, but where, if luck holds, strength can be drawn from facing up to, and seeking to understand, early experiences of cruelty and fear."

BY MARY GAITSKILL on May 28, 1995, a murder was committed at Harvard University: Sinedu Tadesse, a 20-year-old Ethiopian scholarship student, stabbed her roommate Trang Ho, a gifted 20-year-old Vietnamese immigrant also on a scholarship. More precisely, Tadesse stabbed Ho 45 times with a hunting knife she had bought expressly for that purpose while Ho lay sleeping in bed. Tadesse then hung herself with a noose she had prepared in advance. The crime was stunning not only because it was savage, but because, as a Harvard official commented at the time, "there (was) no apparent reason." All the ensuing media coverage, and all the speeches and meetings seemed to make the event more mysterious, not less.

I was living alone in a very isolated area and I was having insomnia so severe that I was only sleeping one to three hours a night. On top of that, when I did sleep, I had intense nightmares, all on the theme of brutish men viciously killing and/or raping women me for example. The dreams were terrifying, but they were also bewildering; while they could be explained by real-life fears, I felt they were more about me than anything external, and because I very much wanted to understand them, I thought a lot about them. Solitude, sleep deprivation, nightmares and self-examination are a loopy combination, and I spent my many waking hours moving in and out of an half-dream state in which the violent images from my subconscious loomed about me, leering ridiculously as I nodded off in the grocery store checkout line.

17. Books: Beautiful Brooding (Tucson Weekly . 08-11-97) mary gaitskill is at it again mining those twisted psyches and revealing the demographics of sex, power and intimacy in her first collection of short stories in more than a decade. http://weeklywire.com/ww/08-11-97/tw_book1.html

Beautiful Brooding A New Collection Of Stories By Mary Gaitskill Is Long Overdue. By Piers Marchant Because They Wanted To MARY GAITSKILL'S first collection of stories in more than 10 years, Because They Wanted To , cements her reputation as a gifted writer unafraid of treading on dangerous and unsettling ground. Here, as in her first collection Bad Behavior , Gaitskill expertly mines her characters' twisted psyches, recording and revealing in small snatches the demographics of sex, power and intimacy. It's a brutal, wonderful collection, absorbing and terrifying in its unflinching look at our private lives. Gaitskill's writing is a marvel of interconnecting tensions, incorporating present anxiety with past affliction. In her best work, there's a seamless rendering of disturbed synergya catalogue of all the things that are out of place and gloomy in her characters' harrowing worlds. The title story focuses on the homeless girl Elise, who's fleeing from Seattle to the Canadian border to escape a peculiar, incestuous relationship with her brother. Desperate for money, she accepts a baby-sitting job from a woman who promises to pay her in time. Clumsy, awkward and completely incapable of handling small children, Elise spends a harrowing day with two small boys and a baby. As the day progresses, and the mother's return is delayed, Elise increasingly loses control over the children, until disaster seems imminent. Like a Diane Arbus photo in close detail, Gaitskill constantly cross-references tidy images with a bleak, chaotic overtonethe literary equivalent of a gray balloon in a bucket of blood. Elise's musings on the family placed in her care, for example, commingle maternal care with a disturbing air of misplaced sexuality: "She thought Robin must sleep in this bed with Penny, curled around her protectively as you would sleep with a kitten. Eric and Andy must sleep with them too. The bed was big, but still they would have to sleep close. She wondered if they wore pajamas. That would be uncomfortable in the heat, but it might be even more uncomfortable to touch sticky naked limbs...She wondered if Robin had a light, lacy gown to wear, or a nylon shortie."

Interview with Mary Gaitskill by Alexander Laurence (c) 1994 Q How long have you lived in San Francisco? Mary Gaitskill I've only been here for five months. I went back and forth between Marin County and New York City for a while. Then I ran out of money, so I don't have my place in New York anymore. I moved to San Francisco because I started to go nuts in Marin. I realize that Marin County repels many people, but I didn't feel that way because I wanted to live somewhere that was very quiet and didn't demand anything of me. It's been hard for me to get connected to San Francisco. I'm not sure why. A lot of my life here has been very internal, but that's always been true of me. Q You sound like you don't drive? MG No, I don't. Which is one of the reasons that I liked being in Marin, because without a car, everything had to slow down to one mile an hour. You wouldn't think from my demeanor that I would require that, but I can be very amped up, even though I don't show it. Everything was slow like silly putty. That was good for me at the time. My internal state was so chaotic that I needed to be somewhere that wasn't going to reflect that back to me. Two Girls, Fat and Thin
