My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

A deliciously dark satire on modern privilege from the Man Booker-shortlisted author of Eileen (and enfant terrible of American fiction), Ottessa Moshfegh

Read THE razor-sharp satire that everyone on TikTok is talking about...

On the surface, our narrator has everything you could want in life. She's young, beautiful, a recent Columbia graduate and lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like everything else, by her inheritance.

But there is a vacuum in her life and she's got the perfect solution. She's going to take a year under sedation to relax and hide away from the world.

What could possibly go wrong?
