Eimear McBride  Nuanced  daring and tender  these essays from the celebrated author of This is Pleasure and Bad Behavior  consistently fascinate and provoke. Mary Gaitskill takes on a broad range of topics from Nabokov to horse-riding with her unique ability to tease out unexpected truths and cast aside received wisdom.
