    I am absolutely fascinated by otessa. each novel is a new world in time and space. I love falling down her rabbit holes and discovering something new about myself through her fascinating characters. her talent for storytelling is incredible.

    It is very refreshing to see and hear this writer speak one on one as it were. I just was in the bookstore yesterday and saw several copies of My Year...and am thinking more now of purchasing.

      Best novel I’ve read in 10 years easily

      Moshfegh is fire. I read almost every book of her, everything except "McGlue" and "Lapvona". In my opinion "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" is not even her best. But somehow it's still the most popular... maybe because the cover is pretty catchy, so it trended on social media during Corona. "Eileen" is really good. Currently I´m reading "Homesick for another world" and even though I´m normally not that into short stories, I love it and would totally recommend it.

    I dont find her interpretation of the dating scene at the millennium very realistic in rest and relaxation. You would need a time machine I suppose to truly know what it was like but theres just some things that stand out as obvious to me that would not happen.

      It is accurate for a depressed lonely orphan selfish woman finding needing anything to hold into in NYC.
