Eileen

4.5 rounded up. this book falls into one of my favorite genres - messy, problematic, uncomfortable, unlikable female main characters. something about a first person rendition of women railing against the call of the void is so fascinating to read about, if for nothing else than its novelty compared to the typical FMC tropes we see over and over again in fiction. the vibes are like watching someone through a window doing something perverse, and you're physically cringing away from it but also winking an eye back open trying to figure out wtf they're doing? thank you ottessa moshfegh you truly never miss
