In Veronica, Gaitskill portrays the unlikely friendship between Alison, an ex-model, and Veronica, an eccentric proofreader with AIDS, penetrating the veils of love and loss with distinctive, flinty prose and a story that is raw and unique. Veronica was a finalist for the National Book Award and one of the The New York Times Book Review’s Ten Best Books of the Year.
