My Year of Rest & Relaxation by Otessa Moshfegh
On the surface, the narrator seems to have many advantages in life. She is young, thin, and pretty, and has recently graduated from Columbia. She resides in an Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan, funded entirely by her inheritance. However, there is a profound emptiness at the core of her life. It's not just the loss of her parents during college, the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her supposed best friend. This story, set over a year filled with a chaotic mix of drugs meant to cure our disconnection from the world, reveals how that sense of alienation can sometimes feel quite rational, even necessary.
Death in Her Hands by Otessa Moshfegh
While on her daily walk with her dog in a secluded woods, a woman discovers a handwritten note carefully pinned to the ground with stones. It reads, "Her name was Magda. Nobody will ever know who killed her. It wasn't me. Here is her dead body." However, there is no dead body. Deeply shaken and perplexed, our narrator becomes obsessed with solving this mystery, imagining who Magda was and how she met her fate. As her investigation broadens, strange dissonances emerge, possibly linked to the darkness in her own past. We are left to confront the possibility that there is either an innocent explanation for all of this or a much more sinister one.
