Well! 😙 I mainly feel like this just didn’t need to be written. Not very interesting for the most part. I think it was an extended metaphor for grief? The ending felt rushed and out of the blue. Ruh roh!

How Moshfegh managed to write something as captivating as this through only the insane ramblings of a lonely old woman is nothing short of brilliant. An author I'll always have my eye on.
