Gruuuuuuuuesome. I didn't have any idea where this was going and I went along for the ride. I read this in 2 bus rides to and from work, and then was so engrossed I had to sit on the couch and finish the last 50 pages. I'm also reading The Year of Rest and Relaxation and I really like the way Moshfegh writes. I'd read anything she wrote.
