The collection begins with College Town 1980, which follows young people adrift in Ann Arbor debate the meaning of personal strength at the start of the Reagan era. The second opens with a disembodied list of newspaper headlines, before diving into a dissection of the lives of the characters behind the headlines, including a murderer who is slated for giving a prime-time interview, and a woman from San Francisco attempting to break a world record by having sex with one thousand men. Another story describes a nurse's obsession with her 43 year-old patient's virginity, and another a man who steals a girl's soul during a one night-stand.

Dirty sex, broken people and powerful, original language. Don't Cry is a testament to Gaitskill's formal range and incomparable excavation of character in jagged, lived emotion.
