Her characters are all unsteady on their feet; all yearning for connection and betterment, in very different ways, but each of them seems destined to be tripped up by their own baser impulses. The flesh is weak; the timber is crooked; people are cruel to each other, and stupid, and hurtful, but beauty comes from strange sources, and the dark energy surging through these stories is oddly and powerfully invigorating. One of the most gifted and exciting young writers in America, she shows us uncomfortable things, and makes us look at them forensically – until we find, suddenly, that we are really looking at ourselves.‘Moshfegh’s writing is cinematic – vivid, immediate’ TLSCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
