My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Our nameless protagonist can be described in pretty much three words: Privileged anti-hero. She sees sleeping for the solution of everything - understandably so. That way she can manage to escape her daily duties. From going to her local coffee shop two times a day, to not being seen on the streets for almost a year. Ordering food and taking pills to then drift away is what life of our main character has come to. When I began reading this book, I was captured from the very beginning. Ottessa Moshfegh's writing style surely isn't something casual. And by not only creating an amazing storyline, but also showing us the differences between middle and upper class and what it means like to have financial stability - she created an all round astonishing Novel!
