A darkly funny, mordant modern cult classic from Ottessa Moshfegh — a novel about beauty, privilege, grief and the seductive promise of switching off entirely.
Our unnamed narrator should be happy, shouldn't she? She's young, thin and beautiful, a recent Columbia graduate with an easy job at a hip Manhattan art gallery and an Upper East Side apartment funded, like everything else, by her inheritance. And yet there's a dark, vacuous hole at the centre of her life. So, with the help of the spectacularly irresponsible Dr Tuttle and a cocktail of prescription drugs, she resolves to do the only thing that feels right: sleep for a year, and emerge reborn.
Set in a New York aglitter with wealth on the eve of the millennium, this is a razor-sharp, blackly comic portrait of alienation and the strange logic of opting out.
Unsettling, hypnotic and unforgettable.
