«Puede que esta sea la mejor novela existencial escrita por un autor no franc s. .- Kirkus

En Mi a o de descanso y relajaci n, Ottessa Moshfegh hace de Manhattan el epicentro de una civilizaci n, la del a o 2000, dominada por la apat a. Como una oscura bella durmiente, la narradora de esta novela decide encerrarse durante un a o en su piso de una de las zonas m s exclusivas de Nueva York, asistida por una herencia ingente y por una gran cantidad de f rmacos, para dedicarse a dormir y ver pel culas de Whoopi Goldberg y Harrison Ford. El inicio de un siglo supuestamente trepidante encuentra a nuestra protagonista durmiendo en el sof con la tele encendida. Con mucho cinismo, series, pel culas comerciales y narc ticos, y a costa de cortar todo v nculo humano, cualquiera puede sobrellevar esta vida. Ahora bien, lo que queremos es sobrellevarla?

«Como esta es una novela escrita por Moshfegh, que va sobrada de talento, sabemos de antemano que va a ser una novela original y extra a. ...] Sus frases son penetrantes y viperinas. ...]Escribe con tal serenidad misantr pica que leerla siempre resulta un placer. .-The New York Times

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Entertainment Weekly's #1 Book of 2018

A New York Times Notable Book and Times Critics' Top Books of 2018

The New York Times bestseller.

From one of our boldest, most celebrated new literary voices, a novel about a young woman's efforts to duck the ills of the world by embarking on an extended hibernation with the help of one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature and the battery of medicines she prescribes.

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.
