ABOUT EYE eye - The edge of innocence Mary Gaitskill and the line between life and fiction PREVIEW MARY GAITSKILL at the International Festival of Authors Reading, Oct. 23, 8:30pm.$19. Brigantine Room. Interview, Oct. 25, 4pm. $15. Lakeside Terrace. York Quay Centre, 235 Queens Quay W. 973-3000. BY KEVIN CONNOLLY You might forgive Mary Gaitskill for being a little cautious. At 44, she has already experienced two kinds of personal notoriety. First, for being an intense, unblinking writer ( Bad Behavio r, her acclaimed 1988 book of stories, vaulted her to the forefront of young American writers), and second, for admitting that her disturbing fiction was partly derived from personal experience. Turns out Gaitskill had escaped from an abusive home outside suburban Detroit, worked in massage parlors and strip clubs (in Toronto, no less), and even dabbled in prostitution. In a 1994 Harper's article, Gaitskill also discussed incidents in her life outside her stint as a "sex worker" in which she was coerced into sex against her wishes.

ABOUT EYE eye - Book review TWO GIRLS FAT AND THIN by Mary Gaitskill Bantam paperback, $8.99 by DONNA LYPCHUK Anybody hooked on Mary Gaitskill will recommend her first book, Bad Behaviour, full of brilliantly crafted and bizarre short stories that were character studies of misbegotten Manhattanites, all female, all lost in the big city, and all mistaking their sordid sexual exploits for real love and affection. As a writer, Gaitskill excels at portraiture, the short story as snapshot (you could call her a literary Diane Arbus), so it is not surprising that her first novel, Two Girls Fat and Thin is somewhat out of focus and at a loss for a real narrative. The real subject of Two Girls Fat and Thin is, once again, "how your family can fuck you up." The book is a marathon examination of the backgrounds of two women, one fat and one thin; both the victims of sexual abuse when they were children. The two meet through mutual interest in a literary heroine, (a thinly disguised Ann Ryn), the founder of a movement called Definitism and a metaphorical figurehead for the control that both women are trying to regain over their traumatized emotional lives.

43. ¤*.¸¸.·´¨`°*» Mary Gaitskill And Poppy Z. Brite Recommend THE LOSERS' CL Club is a torn, stomped, slightly grubby and very beautiful valentine to a time and place almost faded from existence.” —mary gaitskill, Bad Behavior The http://www.ludlowpress.com/gaitskill.htm

What is love? In the game of love, there are winners and losers. In The Losers’ Club , Richard Perez tries to answer the eternal question. Set in downtown New York City, The Losers’ Club tells the story of Martin Sierra, an unlucky writer addicted to the personals. His journey brings us into the East Village at the height of its cultural glory—and in contact with Nikki, his dream woman, who remains unattainable romantically, yet who becomes his friend and confidant during his precarious misadventures. Populated with characters and surprises few of us will ever forget, this exhilarating novel is as much about a generation (we won’t say “X”) as it is about a specific time and place. The Fall 2003 Small Press Book Sense 76 Top Ten Pick! "This is an irreverent, comic, and heart-wrenching ride through mid-'90s New York City. Our protagonist and 'loser' is Martin Sierra, a relationship-challenged writer navigating his way through rejection letters, East Village clubs, and personal-ad dates in his search for recognition, purpose, and acceptance. This is not a defeatist, dare I say, Gen-X tragedy. Rather, The Loser's Club is a vibrant and hopeful anthem for all of us 'losers' who choose not to wallow (for too long!) in our despair and who find the will to keep searching."
