A New York Times Bestseller

“One of the most compelling protagonists modern fiction has offered in years: a loopy, quietly furious pillhead whose Ambien ramblings and Xanaxed b*tcheries somehow wend their way through sad and funny and strange toward something genuinely profound.” — Entertainment Weekly

“Darkly hilarious . . . [Moshfegh’s] the kind of provocateur who makes you laugh out loud while drawing blood.” —Vogue

From one of our boldest, most celebrated new literary voices, a novel about a young woman’s efforts to duck the ills of the world by embarking on an extended hibernation with the help of one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature and the battery of medicines she prescribes.

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.

Punched in the face > Reading this book

November 20, 2018

To say I hated this book would be the understatement of the century. I am completely baffled by the glowing reviews. It’s not often I read a book that leaves me with such a feeling of anger at having spent the time to read it, but here we are. Every character made my blood boil, especially our narrator, a self indulgent, angry, spiteful, wreckless and insufferable waste of a person. I found the general idea of this book to be interesting, but our narrator is just irredeemable. I kept hoping she wouldn’t wake up and the rest of the book would just be blank pages so that I didn’t have to read anymore.

Depressed and depressing

September 4, 2018

I was excited to begin reading this book. As I read I became more and more depressed. I don’t know why I kept reading or finished it. If you feel like committing suicide read this book. I would not recommend this book to anyone. I hated it.
In short this is a book about a young woman who schemes to use sleeping pills, psychotropic drugs, and alcohol to put herself to sleep for a year. What a horrible idea when so many deaths occur from prescription drug abuse. There were no redeeming qualities to this book including character development.

A Brilliant Page-Turner

August 15, 2018

For years I’ve been longing for a novel that would compell me to read the way I did as a child–voraciously and without distraction. Given the fact that I can barely read anything these days without taking breaks to play Words With Friends, I had all but given up; then came “My Year of Rest and Relaxation.” Because the novel and its author, Otessa Moshfegh, are this year’s darlings, I hesitated; popular books usually disappoint me. But I read this one in two days, and would have in a single sitting if I’d had the chance. It is simply the best novel I’ve read by a living author, and one of the best I’ve read in my life. Moshgegh’s unnamed narrator is 26, beautiful and model-like, a Columbia graduate with a degree in art history and a job in a Chelsea art gallery. She’s also alone and completely empty inside. Her cold, distant parents died while she was in college; she has no siblings; her unofficial boyfriend is a horrible jerk; her only friend is an annoying bullemic who she mistreats at every opportunity. Caught sleeping on the job, the narrator decides to put her firing to good use by devising a year-long rest cure. Armed with a huge variety of psychotropic drugs, sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medications prescribed by a shady, criminally incompetent psychiatrist, she shuts herself in her Upper East Side apartment and, supported by her inheritance and unemployment benefits, starts sleeping full-time. Nevertheless, things keep happening, both to her and to the world, during her fateful year off. Moshfegh’s writing is brilliant, but what sets her apart from even the best of her contemporaries is the consistent pace of the novel. There are no dead spots, no dull passages, and none of the unevenness that ruins so many contemporary novels. “My Year of Rest and Relaxation” is that rarest of things: a profound, literary page-turner. I can’t wait to read it again, along with everything else Moshfegh has published, and can’t recommend it highly enough.
