i've been thinking a lot about when Otessa Moshfegh described herself as an isolator: "a meeting or public event, or even a coffee date with a friend, can inspire resentment in me for having to break up the quietude and steadfast immersion into my own mind with some real-life experience” and it had been a while since I recognized myself so much in some words

"My Year of Rest and Relaxation" by Otessa Moshfegh An unnamed narrator tries to sleep for a year in hopes of being renewed and cured from her past trauma. Though I did enjoy the humor, the subplots were dragging me to sleep for a year as well🤭. Halfway through, there wasn't much going on besides the coffees, the sleeping pills and the interruptions of her sleep. I can personally relate especially to the narrator's negative mind, and her journey of overcoming it. She is supposed to be disliked but I empathise her. The realities of depression were written well and deeply explored. There were 2 dangerous attitudes toward unhappiness presented: one is using pills to sleep and forget, the other is coating fake positivity to cope. But the former did it right in the story since it's the premise🙄. As a character driven novel, im satisfied, but the plot is just 😴. The tone literally sounded its title - drowsy 😒 Like other unsettling, odd fiction, this is an acquired taste. The characters are written to be despised, the story to be slow and sleepy, its negatives are intended. Which i think made the writing effective. This is my first Moshfegh novel and I'm looking forward to her other works☺️ Happy New Year and welcome 2022 🎉🎊 #myyearofrestandrelaxation #otessamoshfegh #literaryfiction #filipinobookstagrammer #bookstagramph #bookstagramphilippines #booknook #bibliophile #bookreader #booknerd #contemporaryfiction #bexreadsies (at Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYJwD-RvPa5/?utm_medium=tumblr

🐇 My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Otessa Moshfegh is on my September TBR list because of @paperbackdreams. 🐇 I’ve heard some very positive reviews about this book, so can’t wait to get into it in early September. Even if I hadn’t read any reviews or heard Kat mention it in a recent video, I would probably get it because the cover is a mood! . #bookstagram #tbr #list #myyearofrestandrelaxation #otessamoshfegh #mood #bigmood #crystals #flatlaystyle #goodreadschallenge2020 #septembertbr #bunnybook #bibliophilelife #paperback #paperbackdreams #bookrecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMcK3Yp5VP/?igshid=kny9n3ugyygp

And that was exactly what I wanted – my emotions passing like headlights that shine softly through a window, sweep past me, illuminate something vaguely familiar, then fade and leave me in the dark again.

Current read: Eileen is about a lonely young woman who works at a boys prison in the 1960s who is pulled into a strange crime. It definitely calls for vodka. #currentread #boozeandbooks #eileen #otessamoshfegh https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FcrZkhxjMkgjZVAXgrB7aSC5EqnMs2AlXrXE0/?igshid=j1ps2an8mrjr
