THIS IS PLEASURE

 Mary Gaitskill. THIS IS PLEASURE. Pantheon/Penguin, 2019.

I once heard Mary Gaitskill speak at a conference in Toronto. It was my introduction to her writing. This small novel reinforces my love of her style and her subtlety. A story of a friend who falls victim to "me too"-like accusations.
