I consider The Mare , Veronica , and Lost Cat (among others) to be some of the best and most insightful American fiction of recent times. She is um… frank , and has held a series of actual jobs in her lifetime, including stripper and sex worker. She was also a teenage runaway.

Mary Gaitskill, Somebody with a Little Hammer, Essays .
3. Mary Gaitskill, Somebody with a Little Hammer, Essays . Short pieces, never too long, strong throughout, mostly on literature (Nicholson Baker, Peter Pan , Norman Mailer, Bleak House ) with some essays on movies too. This will make my best of the year list, and she remains an underrated author more generally.
2. Mary Gaitskill by the book . I am enjoying her new novel The Mare .
