"Book by writer that's currently popular among women (sally rooney, otessa moshfegh, A Little Life, etc.) ✅"
"Feels like she's more well known as one of the humorless shrews from The View now. Thinking of Ottessa Moshfegh during these times"
"This is my big L that I literally am the chick from My Year of Rest and Relaxation. I studied the famously sexy but useless art history in nyc (nyu not columbia rip). Got a gallery girl job at a blue chip gallery in chelsea."
"Anyway the movie was good. Wasn't sure how they were going to capture the mood Ottessa Moshfegh's writing but I thought it was done really well."
"I told her that Moshfegh is my favorite contemporary woman writer, and while she's not as popular as Hoover, they're making a movie of Eileen so it's possible that could change. she ended up checking it out and thanked me for the rec. a young mind hopefully saved from the horrors of booktok."
"Every millennial and zoomer author desperately wants to underline their victim status and write about nothing but their "unique" story (see, Sally Rooney), but Ottessa is a refreshingly singular Gen X voice in a milieu of Instagram-infographic-brained morons."
"moshfegh and writers of her apathetic ilk are CHARLATANS….. the novel has as its central tenet an interest in RELATIONALITY but in pursuit of singular cool-girl isolation these apathy-sick novelists ignore and excise any evidence of the webbed ties that enmesh us."
"I'd describe myself as similar to the narrator from Mosfegh's My Year of Rest and Relaxation -- I'm kind of a "cold fish" and feel so broken, disconnected, and dissatisfied with living that I don't know what to do."
"Sorry Ottessa Moshfegh, Alexandra Kleeman et al… your stuff is interesting but I cannot relate"
"Interesting canvassing of contemporary authors in Bookforum about the question 'What forms of art, activism, and literature can speak authentically today?' I though Moshfegh's reply was the most interesting"
"basically all i've done this weekend is read ottessa moshfegh and listen to yung lean so feeling like i want to get fucked up and aimlessly walk around and buy stuff in convenience stores"
"Sounds like the plot of some sad girl ottesa moshfeg type story"
"I did it for like a year and a half and I just alienated myself and lost 115 pounds. AMA"
"After this I'll be starting Eileen by Otessa Moshfegh."
"Wasn't sure how they were going to capture the mood Ottessa Moshfegh's writing but I thought it was done really well."
"I'm unironically in love with Ottessa Moshfegh... Her deadpan voice, jet black hair, her mole. She's the full package."
