Mary Gaitskill (born November 11, 1954) is an American novelist, essayist, and short story writer. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Harper’s Magazine, Esquire, The Best American Short Stories (1993, 2006, 2012), and The O. Henry Prize Stories (1998, 2008). The film Secretary (2002) is based on the short story of the same name. She characterized the film as “the Pretty Woman version, heavy on the charm (and a little too nice),” but observed that the ″ bottom line is that if [a film adaptation is] made you get some money and exposure, and people can make up their minds from there.” (Wikipedia)
