Utilizing an array of pharmaceuticals and an unprecedentedly irresponsible psychiatrist to escape into a year-long hibernation may seem like a terrible idea, but Ottessa Moshfegh has masterfully turned that very premise into one of my absolutely favorite recent novels. Original, dark, funny, and alluring, I devoured the pages of this book much the way the unnamed narrator consumes hours of Whoopi Goldberg movies on VHS.
