My Year of Rest and Relaxation- Ottessa Moshfegh

Aimée and Angelica recommend:

“A shocking, hilarious and strangely tender novel about a young woman’s experiment in narcotic hibernation, aided and abetted by one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature.’

 What happens when you decide to just take a break from life? When you’re goal is to see exactly how long you can stretch a drug-induced sleep? And when you start waking up wearing different clothes and with photos of strangers? This book has a lulling quality to it-a mix of art, drugs and life’s big questions. It is impossible to put it down. An entertaining and darkly funny read.

Perfect for fans of: Kathy Acker, The Convience Store Woman, and Rachel Kushner
