Of all the OTTESSAS in the world, OTTESSA MOSHFEGH is my favorite!
Ottessa Moshfegh
Have you read Ottessa Moshfegh?
Her books are unique. And her books are a lot of fun. No two read the same.
She is an auto-buy author for me. And even when I hate her plot and deplore her characters, her shit still lives rent-free in my head.
My favorite of the four that I’ve read:
MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION
Goodreads rating 3.69 (ouch)
My rating
If you’ve ever mapped your route from the couch, to the medicine cabinet, to the kitchen, and back to the couch, you’ll appreciate this one.
The best characters and the one I recommend the most:
EILEEN
Goodreds rating 3.55
My rating
If you’ve ever done something, you’re ashamed of, but then you did it again…I recommend this one.
The one I liked the least, but still enamored with:
DEATH IN HER HANDS
Goodreads rating 3.21
My rating
If you’ve ever wondered what its like for an author to frustrate you for 260 pages. And then leave you feeling empty inside and fearing miserly old women. Check this one out!
The one with all of the trigger warnings!
LAPVONA
Goodreads rating: 3.58
My rating:
This is the one I recommend if you’re familiar with Moshfegh, with all cautions!
My plan is to read LESS THAN ZERO next, where she co-writes with Bret Easton Ellis. Unless you think I should try something else. Let me know…
