Gaitskill’s one of my favorite authors.

I want to also get the ‘Because they wanted to’ short story collection. I think you should read it because that way then you can engage in the discussion knowing what is being talked about. I’ve only taken a gander at it, but if it’s Gaitskill, it should be a worth-reading book. I just re-read ‘Secretary’ last night. I wish they would release a collection of her essays or something, that would be great.

I just bought Two Girls, Fat and Thin and want to read it this summer. Bad Behavior and Veronica really tore me open. I need to get Because They Wanted To as well.

She was at the Free Library in Philadelphia a year or so ago; hopefully she’ll come back.

She said something about you looking familiar, didn’t she? I saw that Harpers and was so impressed by how much you thought ahea — though I didn’t know it was you at the time. I was the freakishly tall woman in the blue shirt.
