A review by corebooks
Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh

2.0

Otessa is a sickenly good writer. Many of the events are out of my comfort zone. Sometimes i went to bed and was unable to sleep bc of how disgusting a chapter was.

 Yet, i couldn't stop. 

She shines a microscope on a degeneracy of men, the mass poverty inherent to a fiefdom, the dirt, grime, sickness, and violence of it all. Nothing is off the table. 

Then, the part with pedophilia and rape came, and i could no longer say that i truly enjoyed this tale.
