Homesick For Another World - Ottessa Moshfegh

razor-sharp' Zadie Smith An Electrifying, Prizewinning Short Story Collection From The Booker-shortlisted Author Of Eileen And My Year Of Rest And Relaxation.there's Something Eerily Unsettling About Ottessa Moshfegh's Stories, Something Almost Dangerous While Also Being Delightful - And Often Even Weirdly Hilarious. 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.
