Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times called it Pinteresque, saying, Ms. Gaitskill writes with such authority, such radar-perfect detail, that she is able to make even the most extreme situations seem real. her reportorial candor, uncompromised by sentimentality or voyeuristic charm.underscores the strength of her debut.
