Eileen
by Ottessa Moshfegh
Man do I appreciate surprise.
Eileen doesn't give a shit. She's unrepentantly awful. She's physically foul. She's done terrible things and has no interest in hiding them. She's unlike any character I've ever met, and that's a rarity I appreciate.
Readers who need plot or characters to love should avoid this darkening and bizarre character study, but anyone with an appreciation for unreserved oddity should jump in.
I'm sure Moshfegh isn't for everyone, but a handful of stories from Homesick for Another World pointed me here, and now I'll read her whole catalog before I pick up anything else. Whatever follows is sure to be a disappointment.
