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.
1. 从费城回Providence,坐火车五个小时,刚好可以读完了My Year of Rest and Relaxation: 正是2000年,不具名的女主角年轻、美丽、富有、哥大毕业,然而她决定要休眠一年。读完有一点想到Taipei:都关于alienation,都trippy而冷淡、几乎不带情绪,像是磕high了看到的世界与人...

4.5/5
评分很幽默,但是有點單薄呀,300頁也不短瞭,但竟然覺得空空噠
评分夏天離職時同事送的臨彆禮物,斷斷續續到今天終於讀完。
评分黑色幽默。是怎麼做到這麼極端的乾巴巴的呀
评分傢庭冷暴力的成長環境,反復無常的男友,離世的雙親,對參與社會太過積極的朋友…最精彩的是最後幾十頁,真正的hibernation以簡單一句get rid of something作為對過往總結而開始。確實,有時候最general就是最確切,這些超齣常人承受範圍的涼薄與殘忍隻能用something來概括。全書就是描述一種在主觀意願占主導的空洞,並不是一種單純的消極避世心理,而是在各種情緒觀感慢慢退化後自己選擇性與世界脫節的空洞,這是空洞也是自救。彆人人眼中的浪費對於她來說隻是重新洗洗底牌而已,I’m blonde pretty and young, 這個社會的入場券對這樣的人來說從來不會過期。Harvard Bookstore bestseller #4
