outspokenlibrarian 's review for:
Eileen
by Ottessa Moshfegh
Ottessa Moshfegh has a way of writing about utterly unlikeable people that is still compelling to me. I really enjoyed My Year of Rest and Relaxation, even though the unnamed protagonist in that one is also a bit of a shit. Eileen writes here from a position of old age and I guess that softens it a bit, as she seems to be somewhat critical of herself at 24, which is when the plot of the story takes place.
