90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

A writer engulfed by a new obsession, an occasional sex-worker, a runaway, and a teenager entering the workplace—these four tales of desire and dislocation explore the rough edges of relationships and the inner lives of women negotiating their precarious place in the world.

In these coolly compelling and quietly devastating stories, Gaitskill evokes with razor-sharp precision the pleasure, pain, fear, and longing that haunt modern life.
