Elizabeth S, Bookseller
I know Ottessa Moshfegh has a huge following - and I myself have read all of her books. But book after book of hers, I find myself wavering between repulsion and fascination. I thought this novel was gross. I thought it was unnecessarily gross, even - but that's also how I felt about Eileen. Even while scrunching my nose and scoffing, I couldn't help but finish it. Gross? sure. Engrossing? yeah, that too. I'm not sure this is one I will hand sell, but I am confident it will find its audience.
