OTTESSA MOSHFEGH - GEBRAUCHT MY YEAR OF REST AN...

Entertainment Weekly's #1 Book of 2018 One of the most compelling protagonists modern fiction
has offered in years: a loopy  quietly furious pillhead whose Ambien ramblings and Xanaxed
b*tcheries somehow wend their way through sad and funny and strange toward something genuinely
profound. - Entertainment Weekly From one of our boldest  most celebrated new literary voices 
a novel about a young woman's efforts to duck the ills of the world by embarking on an extended
hibernation with the help of one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature and the
battery of medicines she prescribes. Our narrator should be happy  shouldn't she? She's young 
thin  pretty  a recent Columbia graduate  works an easy job at a hip art gallery  lives in an
apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for  like the rest of her needs  by her
inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart  and it isn't just the loss of
her parents  or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her  or her sadomasochistic
relationship with her best friend  Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and
possibility  what could be so terribly wrong? My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful
answer to that question. Through the story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad
combination of drugs designed to heal our heroine from her alienation from this world  Moshfegh
shows us how reasonable  even necessary  alienation can be. Both tender and blackly funny 
merciless and compassionate  it is a showcase for the gifts of one of our major writers working
at the height of her powers. Named a Best Book of the Year by: The Washington Post  Time  NPR
