Bad Behavior by Mary Gaitskill

Bad Behavior by Mary Gaitskill

Gaitskill's debut collection examines sex, power and desire among characters navigating New York's margins, refusing both moral judgement and easy sympathy in favour of unflinching, psychologically exact observation of morally ambiguous behaviour and relationships.

The stories, including Secretary, later adapted into a well-known film, established Gaitskill's reputation for treating difficult sexual and interpersonal dynamics with genuine literary seriousness rather than sensationalism, influencing a generation of writers exploring similar territory.

A landmark short story collection, foundational to Gaitskill's acclaimed literary career.
