"Gaitskill was 25 when she read An American Dream, and by that time she was ready for it, that is she was in a state of receptivity both dreamy and bruised, a receptivity that understood that life had a top layer with several layers under it, and that sometimes, one bled through the other in strange ways."
– Mary Gaitskill, Oppositions

“It was all stressful, but scarcely enough to explain how I felt - as though a trapdoor had opened and I had fallen through it into scalding chaos, clutching at supports that came off in my hands, plunging, and transforming, as I did, into a mindless thing, a receptacle of fear and pain.”
-Mary Gaitskill

'Gaitskill writes with such intelligence that it’s hard not to have your mind changed by the nuanced way she tackles painful ethical and intellectual quandaries.'
A stellar review for Oppositions in the Independent – one of November's biggest releases!

I don’t know why I behaved the way I did, and I kept doing it; he kept doing it. The little jabs and jokes he’d always made, artfully woven in with his habitual flattery, stung, like the bites of an invisible insect (“I think it’s interesting that you pay so much more attention to your appearance than you did even just five years ago”). And though I might once have easily brushed them away, suddenly I could not. Nor could I confront him. The conversation moved too quickly.
