"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 *
