Veronica by Mary Gaitskill (2005)
first edition, fourth printing.
Once a beautiful young model drifting through the glamorous, predatory world of 1980s Paris and New York, Alison now lives in poverty, her body ravaged by illness and her past impossible to escape. As she looks back on her unlikely friendship with Veronica, an eccentric, sharp-tongued woman dying of AIDS, memories of sex, ambition, cruelty, and tenderness collide. A haunting novel about beauty's expiration, the brutality of desire, and the strange, enduring intimacy between two women who never quite understood each other.
Veronica was a finalist for the 2005 National Book Award and was named one of The New York Times Book Review's ten best books of the year. Gaitskill spent approximately ten years writing it, transforming a story about the fashion industry into a meditation on mortality, friendship, and the human body.
