Bad Behavior is my favorite collection of short stories that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Mary Gaitskill's ability to capture the complicated, winding feelings associated with love, sex, and human dis/connection is something special. Her characters are invigorated with true-to-life mannerisms that speak on behalf of those whom we have met and been deeply affected by, especially as we fall into and out of each other's lives. Through her storytelling, it is evident that Gaitskill is a voyeur of the world, observing people's movements and interactions with a brilliant, keen eye, and it is truly stunning. As a young woman in my early twenties, I feel forever changed by this book.
