Veronica by Mary Gaitskill
5.0
I've read Veronica a few times, as I tend to do with books I enjoy. Gaitskill is undoubtedly a poet at heart, her prose full of spots that make a reader pause and reread. This is not a book that I recommend reading on the bus, on breaks, in fits and starts. It deserves attention, a characteristic rare of contemporary fiction.
Gaitskill's writing is beautiful and, more importantly, brave, unabashed. She remains on of my favorite authors, not only for the depth of her prose but the unapologetic nature she exudes on every page.
