The book that everybody’s talking about…
I read it and was entranced.
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. The superabundantly talented...
Moshfegh’s sentences are piercing and vixenish…
she is always a deep pleasure to read.
My Year of Rest and Relaxation is whip-smart, continuously compelling, and acerbic in all the right ways.
Electrifying... [Moshfegh] is adept at crafting
compelling female characters who violate the rules of femininity... Moshfegh’s protagonist is an unlikely
revolutionary.
**THE TIKTOK SENSATION**
Read THE razor-sharp satire that everyone is talking about...
On the surface ,our narrator has everything you could want in life. She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate and lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like everything else, by her inheritance.
But there is a vacuum in her life and she's got the perfect solution. She's going to take a year under sedation to relax and hide away from the world.
What could possibly go wrong?
Blackly funny, merciless and compassionate, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, is the perfect read for fans of The Secret History by Donna Tartt and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
