#Lapvona by #OttessaMoshfegh is like reading high literature during a bad trip. Simple and absolute disgusting. I felt sorry for everyone- especially the women. Good god that was very well-written disgusting imagery. I don’t know anything anymore.

“I wish that future novelists would reject the pressure to write for the betterment of society. Art is not media. A novel is not an ‘afternoon special’ or fodder for the Twittersphere or material for journalists to make neat generalizations about culture. A novel is not BuzzFeed or NPR or Instagram or even Hollywood. Let’s get clear about that. A novel is a literary work of art meant to expand consciousness. We need novels that live in an amoral universe, past the political agenda described on social media. We have imaginations for a reason. Novels like American Psycho and Lolita did not poison culture. Murderous corporations and exploitative industries did. We need characters and novels to be free to range into the dark and wrong. How else will we understand ourselves?” —Ottessa Moshfegh

This was the beauty of sleep- reality detached itself and appeared in my mind as casually as a movie or a dream. It was easy to ignore things that didn’t concern me.

I hated almost everything. I was very unhappy and angry all the time. I tried to control myself, and that only made me more awkward, unhappier, and angrier. I was like Joan of Arc, or Hamlet, but born into the wrong life....

"God is a made-up story," our mother told us... "There are no prizes for good little girls...Don't be a fool." I don't think she was ever so caring as when she delivered this terrifying pronouncement: "To hell with God. And to hell with your father."

I know I always say that it’s the cover that gets me when choosing a book!
Maybe I was just a little tired myself that day! 😳🤣

It’s a funny start…watch this space!
Cover of a book with a woman in a pale blue dress slumped over on a chair. She is still managing to sit, just, and her long red hair touches the grey carpet. Green shoes still on and white stockinged legs are bent by the knee with toes touching the ground. She has white gloves on. Chair is blue and next to it on the right is a metal bowl of fruit with bananas grapes and a pear on top. Its on the top of a tall metal thin stand with round base. Brown grey curtain behind.

This story had me cackling as I recognized family and acquaintances who are just as contemptible as Moshfegh’s characters. If you enjoy immersing yourselves in worlds of absurdity, disdain, and self-hatred there are few writers who do it better. #OttessaMoshfegh #TheNewYorker #ShortStory #BookSky
