In \"College Town l980,\" young people adrift in Ann Arbor debate the meaning of personal strength at the start of the Reagan era; in the urban fairy tale \"Mirrorball,\" a young man steals a girl's soul during a one-night stand; in \"The Little Boy,\" a woman haunted by the death of her former husband is finally able to grieve through a mysterious encounter with a needy child. Each story delivers the powerful, original language, and the dramatic engagement of the intelligent mind with the craving body--or of the intelligent body with the craving mind--that has come to be seen as stunningly emblematic of Gaitskill's fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Gaitskill \u003c\/b\u003eis also the author of \u003ci\u003eBecause They Wanted To\u003c\/i\u003e (nominated for a PEN\/Faulkner Award) and the novel \u003ci\u003eTwo Girls, Fat and Thin\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eVeronica\u003c\/i\u003e was nominated for the National Book Award.
