a very dark, challenging read. obsessed with the bleak and foreboding setting, and the reading experience- almost as if you're in a drunken/brain-damaged stupor. the characters are tough to empathize with but there's definitely an undertone of raw humanity that i admired. mosfegh's characters undergo such a toxic relationship with existence that is fascinating to delve into!
