About this book

In My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, a very young woman undertakes a darkly comic and unsettling attempt to escape the world through a year of self induced hibernation. A fresh, dark story set in 2000s New York that probes the absurdities of modern life, grief, privilege, and slice of hometown life with a biting edge.

About the author

Ottessa Moshfegh

My Year of Rest and Relaxation hands its narrator money, beauty, a Manhattan apartment and a plan to sleep through an entire year on prescription sedatives, then declines either to make her likeable or to punish her for it. Eileen came first, controlled and bleak, about a young woman in a Massachusetts prison town.
