Because they wanted to : stories
Gaitskill, Mary, 1954-2020
Book
This incisive collection of short stories explores connection and disconnection in families, between ex-lovers and friends. From a father reflecting on the daughter whose lesbianism he cannot accept, to two people who were once young together stumbling over the foundations of their past, inside are twelve portraits of heart-rending emotional intimacy and the delicacy of relationships. 'Because They Wanted To' is a perfectly formed set of stories about alienation in modern times.
