I wanted to give this one a go because I really enjoyed Death in Her Hands - like I want to go back and give that one 5 stars instead of 4 stars based on how I keep thinking about it - but I DNFed both MYORAR and Eileen. I was hoping that since Death in Her Hands was the most recent, I’d get something more like that, but no such luck.

I didn’t get very far in this one, so I don’t have a lot to say. What I did read felt too simplistic, perhaps in an intentional fable-like way, and I wasn’t interested.

I’ll keep at least trying Moshfegh’s work because her style always has the potential to work really well for me.
