About this product

Product Information

An electrifying, prizewinning short story collection from the Booker-shortlisted author of Eileen 'Razor-sharp' Zadie Smith An electrifying, prizewinning short story collection from the Booker-shortlisted author of Eileen and My Year of Rest and Relaxation. There's something eerily unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories, something almost dangerous while also being delightful - and often even weirdly hilarious. Her characters are all unsteady on their feet; all yearning for connection and betterment, in very different ways, but each of them seems destined to be tripped up by their own baser impulses. The flesh is weak; the timber is crooked; people are cruel to each other, and stupid, and hurtful, but beauty comes from strange sources, and the dark energy surging through these stories is oddly and powerfully invigorating. One of the most gifted and exciting young writers in America, she shows us uncomfortable things, and makes us look at them forensically - until we find, suddenly, that we are really looking at ourselves. 'Moshfegh's writing is cinematic - vivid, immediate' TLS

    Its a collection of short stories, a relatively easy read, however I only really found a couple of the stories compelling. The two that immediately come to mind are The Weirdos and A Better Place, the rest were not exactly unforgettable but they are also not ones id be inclined to recommend and there was a couple which I just really didn't like personally
