The extraordinary new novel from the acclaimed author of Bad Behavior and Two Girls, Fat and Thin, Veronica is about flesh and spirit, vanity, mortality, and mortal affection. Set mostly in Paris and Manhattan in the desperately glittering 1980s, it has the timeless depth and moral power of a fairy tale.
As a teenager on the streets of San Francisco, Alison is discovered by a photographer and swept into the world of fashion-modeling in Paris and Rome. When her career crashes and a love affair ends disastrously, she moves to New York City to build a new life. There she meets Veronica—an older wisecracking eccentric with her own ideas about style, a proofreader who comes to work with a personal “office kit” and a plaque that reads “Still Anal After All These Years.” Improbably, the two women become friends. Their friendship will survive not only Alison’s reentry into the seductive nocturnal realm of fashion, but also Veronica’s terrible descent into the then-uncharted realm of AIDS. The memory of their friendship will continue to haunt Alison years later, when she, too, is aging and ill and is questioning the meaning of what she experienced and who she became during that time.
Masterfully layering time and space, thought and sensation, Mary Gaitskill dazzles the reader with psychological insight and a mystical sense of the soul’s hurtling passage through the world. A novel unlike any other, Veronica is a tour de force about the fragility and mystery of human relationships, the failure of love, and love’s abiding power. It shines on every page with depth of feeling and formal beauty.

评分玛丽•盖茨基尔的《依然美丽》,其实更像一个女孩子独自的心灵成长史。它描述了艾莉森的家庭生活,巴黎的短暂模特生涯,赴纽约独立生活的成熟期。在看这本书的过程里,我经常走神,浮想过去,她的文字很有特点,直白,易懂,强烈的女性视角,同时赋予文字另一层感觉,像月...

评分偶然在杂志上看到书里的一句话,所以就借来看了。常常这样子,因为作者的一句话,所以想看看她的书,期待有新的发现。万卷出版公司出品,译者是台湾人。看小说还是好累,年纪大了,发现没法像从前那样,同时看好几本书。 110828下外公家
