the only collection of short stories i’ve read that gets better as you progress- each one being richer and dreamier and darker than the last. they were all extremely intricate and complicated, but “heaven”, the final story, was undoubtedly my favourite. mary gaitskill (and simone de beauvoir, my love) have officially converted me into a short story lover. (also sa trigger warning- i didn’t see a single other person mention this but SLIGHT SPOILER humiliation, coercion, bdsm and abuse are big themes throughout many of the stories)
