Margaret MoonshadowI love this book. It's the first time I've read anything by Ottesa Oshfegh. I'm 20 pages short of completion. It was a quick read though I did not like the first chapter and debated going on. Luckily, it got more descriptive, and the narrative voice became unique and interesting. The subject matter is on the darker or grittier side, but the narrative voice is relatable somehow. I don't know if I want to see the movie. I'd want it to live up to the book. 🖤
(((Cindy Weinstein)))@MargaretSefton. Good to know. I read #MyYearOfRestAndRelaxation, which was fascinating, but have not read #Eileen. Definitely on my TBR pile.
@CindyWeinstein I will check that out, Cindy! Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. 🖤
@MargaretSefton. I'm reading it with a student who is writing a senior thesis on novels about #NYC. The narrator reminded me of #HumbertHumbert; the plot reminded me of #Wharton's #HouseOfMirth (which is actually referenced by Oshfegh, and so I'm rereading that now -- God, what an amazing book!); and some DonDeLillo, too!
