具体描述
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.

用户评价
大概是今年听的最好笑的书，作者文笔真是好,用词不过于花哨且非常point-on。有声书的narrator did an exceptional job. A great nihilistic work. Loved the premise: when you are freed from what almost everyone in the world is worrying/hustling about, what would you do & what would be your unhappiness?
评分黑色幽默。是怎么做到这么极端的干巴巴的呀
评分4.5/5
评分some sort of elegant, sick, cool, hallucinatory genius. love the prose, progression of story never lulls (antsy-peaceful-occasional blackout-full hibernation), the caricature of contemporary art, the psychiatrist and the best friend character, the ending imagery haunting. sleeping/hibernation as (a mockery of) performance art.
评分It stings and made me laugh audibly.
