Reviews

The book that everybody’s talking about… I read it and was entranced.
*The Times*

This is the first book I couldn’t put down this year… Almost offensive with its close-to-the-bone truths, it’s shockingly relatable. And legitimately laugh-out-loud funny. Ottessa Moshfegh is sharp, savage and hilarious.
*Elle*

The superabundantly talented...Moshfegh’s sentences are piercing and vixenish… she is always a deep pleasure to read.
*New York Times*

My Year of Rest and Relaxation is whip-smart, continuously compelling, and acerbic in all the right ways.
*Daily Telegraph*

Electrifying... [Moshfegh] is adept at crafting compelling female characters who violate the rules of femininity... Moshfegh’s protagonist is an unlikely revolutionary.
*Vanity Fair*

A relentlessly savage fable of privilege and pain… While we’re laughing, we feel disgust. It’s a combination that makes for diamond-hard entertainment.
*Guardian*

Darkly hilarious... [Moshfegh’s] the kind of provocateur who makes you laugh out loud while drawing blood.
*Vogue, **Must-Read Books of 2018***

The best literary novel (and best book, full stop) that I read in 2019 was My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. It is that incredibly rare book hyped as being "hilarious" which is actually funny... It's also a devastating satire of WASP culture, psychiatrists and New York.
*Sunday Independent **Books of the Year***

[My Year of Rest and Relaxation is] a laugh-out-loud page-turner... it’s also the best 9/11 novel I’ve read.
*Times Literary Supplement **Books of the Year 2018***

Moshfegh’s blackly funny new novel… [hits] multiple marks at once: as an art-school prank, a between-the-lines tale of displaced grief and a pitiless anatomy of gender injustice, it also offers… a dark state-of-America fable.
*Observer*
