Description
There's something eerily unsettling about the author's stories, something almost dangerous while also being delightful - and often even weirdly hilarious. Her characters are all unsteady on their feet; all yearning for connection and betterment, in very different ways, but each of them seems destined to be tripped up by their own baser impulses.
Razor-sharp short stories.
Moshfegh is consistently as sparky and gripping as she is inventive… She could become one of the most outstanding US writers of her generation.
The characters in this collection are an unlovely bunch but make for an irresistible read… She writes terrific, attention-grabbing openings, and impactful last lines that don’t strain for a lapidary effect. Her damaged-girl deadpan snark is second to none, but she inhabits other character types with ease.
She can really write and has a pitch-black sense of humour.
Moshfegh’s writing is cinematic – vivid, immediate.
Ottessa Moshfegh is a fiction writer from New England. Eileen, her first novel, was shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Man Booker Prize, and won the PEN/Hemingway Award for debut fiction. My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Death in Her Hands, her second and third novels, were New York Times bestsell ers. She is also the author of the short story collection Homesick for Another World and a novella, McGlue. She lives in Southern California.
