Because They Wanted To: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Mary Gaitskillen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2020
'Mesmerizing - almost ecstatic' The New York Times
Mary Gaitskill's coolly compelling, quietly devastating stories explore the messy complexity of relationships between lovers, families and friends. An unsettling encounter on a plane; a tentative affair between an older woman and a younger man; the chasm between a father and his daughter: each expresses our longing for, and our fear of, human connection.

Recenzii
I really admire how Mary Gaitskill is willing to think about the problematic with complexity and humanity, and without taking sides or engaging in all the fashionable moral hectoring that passes for serious thought these days.
Gaitskill shares Edith Wharton's forensic awareness of what happens just beneath the surface of high-toned encounters in public places
Gaitskill's brand of brainy lyricism, of acid shot through with grace, is unlike anyone else's. And it constitutes some of the most incisive fiction writing around
What makes her exciting is her ability to evoke the hidden life, the life unseen, the life we don't even know we are living.
