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.
Ottessa Moshfegh is a fiction writer from New England. Her first book, McGlue, a novella, won the Fence Modern Prize in Prose and the Believer Book Award. She is also the author of the short story collection Homesick for Another World. Her stories have been published in The Paris Review, The New Yorker, and Granta, and have earned her a Pushcart Prize, an O. Henry Award, the Plimpton Discovery Prize, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Eileen, her first novel, was shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Man Booker Prize, and won the PEN/Hemingway Award for debut fiction.
夏天離職時同事送的臨彆禮物,斷斷續續到今天終於讀完。
評分很幽默,但是有點單薄呀,300頁也不短瞭,但竟然覺得空空噠
評分簡直喪破天際瞭。結尾有點說不上來,就感覺挺失望的。讀起來和conversations with friends倒是挺像,想來年輕好看的白人中産女孩擁有的都是相似的煩惱吧。(現在看失望的一個原因可能是被標題騙瞭,哪裏有什麼rest&relaxation嘛,我隻讀到瞭trouble&trauma)
評分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.
評分大概是今年聽的最好笑的書,作者文筆真是好,用詞不過於花哨且非常point-on。有聲書的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?
