    “About a girl who works in a boy's juvenile detention center and lives with her abusive alcoholic father. Believe it or not, it's very funny (and gross). I liked it more than My Year of Rest and Relaxation.”

    “Please understand: I love when a book is deeply fucked up. Ottessa Moshfegh is a master of writing disturbing, unlikeable characters in a way that is delicious and poignant and smart and different. Eileen is my favorite of hers, but I'm a big fan of My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Lapvona, too.”
