Eileen

“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.”

“You know that thing when you’re not really gay but you accidentally become psychotically obsessed with another woman and now y’all are murdering? It’s happened to all of us at least once.”
