- Ok so hear me out, I think it's a sign of my true feelings about Lapvona that I pronounce it wrongly as "Lap-ov-na" in this video... so I'm keeping it up. Just know I'm very much aware.
Also, I say no spoilers but I describe the plot for both Eileen and My Year of Rest and Relaxation in quite a lot of detail so watch at your own risk.
Books Mentioned:
Eileen 0:11
Death In Her Hands 4:33
My Year of Rest and Relaxation 5:49
Homesick for Another World 12:08
Lapvona 12:30
McGlue 14:48
I remember seeing her writing for the first time in the paris review years ago. It s been interesting to follow along with her career since then.
Glad you're uploading more!
I love all of Moshfegh, even Lapvona! And I love this video! Thoroughly enjoyed your takes on her books, especially your struggles with Lapvona. I too hope your grandmother doesn't pick it up looking for a light read😅!
Loved this exploration, even if Moshfegh is most successful for me personally as a reader in her short stories.
I would love a video on elif batuman!
Currently reading Lapvona and I'm shocked by how much I hate this book. It checks off many boxes on my reading list but this one is brutal to get through. I'm 200 pages in and questioning how I even got this far.... I read My Year and enjoyed it for the most part--chuckling at its clever imagery. I like the world of Lapvona and its setting but I'm bored by the "humor" and painful banter (or lack there of because there's hardly any dialogue) between the questionable characters.
Have you read Big Swiss by Jen Beagin? That's on my summer reading list. Apparently HBO is making it into a series.
Love it
I found that My Year of Rest was rushed towards the end, overly edited.
Wait is that how you pronounce Lapvona 😂
