Razor-sharp short stories. * Zadie Smith *
Moshfegh is consistently as sparky and gripping as she is
inventive... She could become one of the most outstanding US
writers of her generation. -- Peter Carty * i *
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. -- Christopher Taylor * Financial Times *
She can really write and has a pitch-black sense of humour.
-- Phil Baker * Sunday Times *
Moshfegh's writing is cinematic - vivid, immediate. --
Gwendoline Riley * Times Literary Supplement *
