Don't Cry by Mary Gaitskill

5.0

This book of short stories was raw, real, biting, endearing, and just overall quality. I'm not usually one for short story collections, but Mary Gaitskill blew me away with her frank and gritty descriptions and prose. I felt a connection to Donald Ray Pollack's Knockemstiff. If it's possible for something to be both refreshing and raw at the same time, then this book is just that.
