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.
*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*
