Because They Wanted to by Mary Gaitskill

5.0

This was delightful at times, and disturbing at others. Many stories sported horrible male protagonists, and the crafting of these terrible men far outstripped their worth. Later, the story shifts to a singular protagonist, looking for love, but unable to love. It’s beautifully written, and I plan to make this the first of many Gaitskill books.
