"From one of our boldest, most celebrated new literary voices, a shocking and tender
novel about a young woman's efforts to sustain a state of deep hibernation over the
course of a year on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Our narrator should be happy,
shouldn't she? She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, works an easy
job at a hip art gallery, lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan
paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and
vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn't just the loss of her parents, or the way her
Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best
friend, Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what
could be so terribly wrong? My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful answer to
that question. Through the story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad
combination of drugs designed to heal our heroine from her alienation from this world,
Moshfegh shows us how reasonable, even necessary, alienation can be. Both tender and
blackly funny, merciless and compassionate, it is a showcase for the gifts of one
of our major writers working at the height of her powers"
