A deliciously dark satire on modern privilege from the Man Booker-shortlisted author of Eileen (and enfant terrible of American fiction), Ottessa Moshfegh
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.
The book that everybody's talking about... I read it and
was entranced. * The Times *
This is the first book I couldn't put down this year...
Almost offensive with its close-to-the-bone truths, it's
shockingly relatable. And legitimately laugh-out-loud
funny. Ottessa Moshfegh is sharp, savage and hilarious.
-- Isabel Dexter * Elle *
The superabundantly talented...Moshfegh's sentences are
piercing and vixenish... she is always a deep pleasure to
read. * New York Times *
My Year of Rest and Relaxation is whip-smart, continuously
compelling, and acerbic in all the right ways. * Daily Telegraph
*
Electrifying... [Moshfegh] is adept at crafting
compelling female characters who violate the rules of
femininity... Moshfegh's protagonist is an unlikely
revolutionary. * Vanity Fair *
