25. Eye - BOOKS: Mary Gaitskill -- Two Girls Fat And Thin - 10.01.92

    http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_10.01.92/ARTS/bo1001b.htm
    
    Extractions: DONNA LYPCHUK Anybody hooked on Mary Gaitskill will recommend her first book, Bad Behaviour, full of brilliantly crafted and bizarre short stories that were character studies of misbegotten Manhattanites, all female, all lost in the big city, and all mistaking their sordid sexual exploits for real love and affection. As a writer, Gaitskill excels at portraiture, the short story as snapshot (you could call her a literary Diane Arbus), so it is not surprising that her first novel, Two Girls Fat and Thin is somewhat out of focus and at a loss for a real narrative. The real subject of Two Girls Fat and Thin is, once again, "how your family can fuck you up." The book is a marathon examination of the backgrounds of two women, one fat and one thin; both the victims of sexual abuse when they were children. The two meet through mutual interest in a literary heroine, (a thinly disguised Ann Ryn), the founder of a movement called Definitism and a metaphorical figurehead for the control that both women are trying to regain over their traumatized emotional lives.

RM: I want to start with the hypothesis that there is a sociological basis for thinking that one should not be sad. This surely comes from the notion that capitalism can quench and thirst with the application of product. It is un-American to be sad, therefore, or, at best, sadness is simply something to be treated with antidepressant meds and otherwise need not be spoken of. However, all the emotions are grand, and if sadness is among them, then I embrace sadness. This also reminds me of a great sentence from Foucault, from Madness and Civilization : "Do not think that because you are a revolutionary you must be sad." Does sadness, for you, relate to sexuality in any way?

    Extractions: RM: Que le célèbre effet secondaire du Prozac, à savoir la diminution du désir sexuel, soit lié à la répression de la tristesse, voilà une idée que je trouve plutôt intéressante. C'est une hypothèse fascinante. Je suppose que pour moi, toute la notion de sexualité consiste à triompher de l'insatisfaction par une autre insatisfaction. Je me demande sans doute si, pour toi, cela a un rapport quelconque avec " l'instinct de mort " avec lequel tant Freud que Jung ont brièvement flirté, ou du moins avec les formulations complexes d' de Freud. Dans ce cas, il s'agit indiscutablement d'un marché où le capital ne trouvera pas de débouchés dans la mesure où il ne veut pas être " calmé ". Et peut-être existe-t-il un paradoxe dans la mode du Prozac, car si le bonheur n'est pas sexuel, en promouvant un produit particulier, une pilule censée apporter la satisfaction, le capital perdrait la sexualité comme moyen de promotion. Si les gens ne se préoccupaient pas autant de sexualité, personne n'achèterait une voiture parce que la publicité est faite par un top model. Mais c'est un point de vue probablement naïf.

    Extractions: Buy this book more on books at VLS ecently, I publicly read a story of mine about a man and woman whose experiments with sexual role-playing go awry when the woman feels the man is abusing her. She becomes frightened, then angry; they fight, reconcile, and go to sleep in each other's arms. Afterward, an audience member commented that the story seemed to him an optimistic American version of Milan Kundera's "The Hitch-Hiking Game"— another story of a couple playing a sexual game that becomes abusive, except that the woman proves unable to call a time-out. "Game" ends with her curled in a ball, sobbing while the man regards her with distaste. The audience member thought Kundera's characters were darker and more jaded than my problem-solving Americans, and he repeated the chestnut that Americans are, of course, more naive than Europeans. To me, Kundera's couple seems the more naive because they fall so thoughtlessly into archetypal behavior, which completely unravels them. My characters are, for better or worse, more self-conscious about how far they want to cede themselves to a sexual archetype. You could say the hitchhiking couple are experiencing sexuality more deeply than my American characters, who are trying to treat the roles of aggressor and victim as costumes which can be put on and taken off at will. The American characters are trying to resolve a problem of aggression and loathing between men and women that Kundera's story suggests is ultimately unsolvable; my characters are more complicated (that is, more human), but Kundera's have a raw power that comes from their embodiment of sexual forces unmediated by self-consciousness.

    Extractions: Buy Album Listen ost soundtrack albums exist completely separate from the movies they're attached to because the songs selected already have a vital popular character that the movie has borrowed to enhance itself, and this rarely works the other way around. The exception is the old-fashioned musical—and that is what Lars von Trier's Dancer in the Dark is, sort of. This "sort of" applies in different ways to both the film and Björk's album, the movie because, instead of simply being a musical, it is self-consciously about musicals, and the record because it appropriates the genre in a somewhat tedious postmodern way. However, both the movie and the album have power that is wholly unique, almost secret, and it comes from the way they play off each other. Specifically it shows up in one astonishingly beautiful song called "I've Seen It All," which makes the CD worthwhile. The song amplifies the meaning of the film, even surpasses it in elucidating Dancer 's most powerful theme. Yet the song couldn't really exist without the movie.

33. Mary Gaitskill Recommends The Losers' Club By Richard Perez!
    Club is a torn, stomped, slightly grubby and very beautiful valentine to a time andplace almost faded from existence.” —mary gaitskill More Advance Praise  
    http://www.ludlowpress.com/gaitskill.htm
    
    Extractions: In the game of love, there are winners and losers. In The Losers’ Club , Richard Perez tries to answer the eternal question. Set in downtown New York City, The Losers’ Club tells the story of Martin Sierra, an unlucky writer addicted to the personals. His journey brings us into the East Village at the height of its cultural glory—and in contact with Nikki, his dream woman, who remains unattainable romantically, yet who becomes his friend and confidant during his precarious misadventures. Populated with characters and surprises few of us will ever forget, this exhilarating novel is as much about a generation (we won’t say “X”) as it is about a specific time and place.

    Extractions: JEFFREY HARRISON of Dover, MA, is the author of three books of poetry. His first, The Singing Underneath , was selected by James Merrill for the National Poetry Series. A review in Chelsea called his second, Signs of Arrival , “a work of genius…(It) accomplishes nothing less than transformation.” About his third and recent book, Feeding the Fire , the New York Times Book Review comments, “The poems…chronicle our growth from the cluelessness of childhood to that slightly greater state of awareness called adulthood…We don't become smarter as we grow older, Harrison seems to be saying; we just have more to be aware of.” He has received NEA and Guggenheim fellowships, a Pushcart Prize, the Amy Lowell Traveling Poetry Scholarship, and the Lavan Younger Poets Award from the Academy of American Poets. MARY GAITSKILL of Rhinebeck, NY, is the author of two story collections

35. Elisabeth Harvor Reviews: Because They Wanted To By Mary Gaitskill
    Because They Wanted to by mary gaitskill. First appeared in The Globe Mail Reviewed by Elisabeth Harvor. A STRANGE JANGLING BEAUTY  
    http://members.eisa.com/~ec091115/harvor/gaitskill2.htm
    
    Extractions: In Tiny, Smiling Daddy, the opening story in Mary Gaitskill's new collection, Because They Wanted To, a sexually prodigal daughter discharges "her strange jangling beauty" into her father's house, "changing the molecules of its air". In another story (Processing), a waitress, "vibrant with purpose" pours water for her dinner guests "with a harried rattle of ice". At a party in Palo Alto, light "runs and flirts on silverware". All of these glimpses into Gaitskill's latest stories illustrate how charged her language can be, and how much it is animated (in spite of its dark themes) by both boldness and joie de vivre. In other Gaitskill stories, many of the characters act as impish raconteurs of narratives that reveal their own pain or shame. Their audience is made up of a sort of floating opera of fast friends, scoffers, and therapists manque. Privacy is sacrificed to get at "the truth" about both intimacy and the potential life has for the playful (and in particular for the sexually playful) to be extended into adulthood. But sex, in Gaitskill's world, is mischievous, cerebral, brutal, or even described with an almost dainty candour, the one thing it is not is sexy.

    Extractions: OTessier.org Books Reviewers Oliver Tessier ... Join Author(s): Mary Gaitskill Published: Justine and Dororty are apparently intellectual, social, and physical opposites. At the next layer, the reader finds that they share a history of having been abused as children and a fascination with Anna Granite, a thinly fictionalized Ayn Rand. The deeper Gaitskill takes us, the more closely the two women's reality comes to merge. It's a powerful, well-written, disturbing book. Note: Gaitskill details some sexual fetishism that I find hard to read. That doesn't keep me from recommending her, but she's not for the squeamish.
