My Year of Rest and Relaxation
by Ottessa Moshfegh
challenging
dark
emotional
funny
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Moshfegh writes with such clarity, her prose is addictive. The atmosphere was so claustrophobic, I had to take breaks from reading. One of the most viscerally uncomfortable books I have read, but it really worked for me and the balance of parody and truth are spot on.
