"Bad Behavior," stories by Mary Gaitskill

This set of stories by Mary Gaitskill appeared in 1988, and since then she has published a number of other story collections and novels--none of which I have read.  As I had often seen her name mentioned on lists of best authors, I thought I would try something by her and start at the beginning.
The stories in "Bad Behavior" are for the most part, but not all, concerned with sex-work, as it is euphemistically called, and apparently it drew on certain experiences of the author. Frankly, I was torn between my somewhat prudish attitude towards much of the subject matter and my unbounded admiration for the writing. In a review in the New York Times, Michiko Kakutani expressed how I felt about Gaitskill's analysis of the inner lives and thought processes of her characters: "She takes a meticulously observed documentary tour of her characters' inner lives."
And Alice Munro wrote: "Stubbornly original, with the sort of rhythm and fine moments that flatten out when you don't expect it, these stories are a pleasure to read."
Worth a try if you have not already discovered her.
