Audiolibro Cosas que no sirven para nada, Sr Cosas
El señor Wu, de Ottessa Moshfegh
Considerada como «la escritora estadounidense contemporánea más interesante sobre el tema de estar vivo cuando estar vivo se siente terrible» y «pionera de un nuevo género de ficción para holgazanes», Ottessa Moshfegh ha dedicado la última década a escribir ficción que se deleita en lo misántropo y lo grotesco. Cuando su novela revelación, Eileen, se publicó en 2015, ganó el Premio Fundación Hemingway/PEN y fue preseleccionada para el premio Man Booker, catapultándola a la categoría de favorita de la crítica.Las novelas posteriores de Moshfegh —Mi año de descanso y relaja...

Inside the Mind of Ottessa Moshfegh: Alienation, Obsession, and Writing the Unlikeable
In this episode of Sick Sad Lit, I sit down with acclaimed author Ottessa Moshfegh to dive deep into her writing process, the evolution of her style, and the themes that haunt her fiction. From McGlue and Eileen to My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Death in Her Hands, and Lapvona, Moshfegh’s novels consistently interrogate the limits of identity, the grotesque and sublime aspects of embodiment, and the ways confinement—physical, psychological, and societal—shapes human existence.We talk about the impact of the pandemic on the writing of Lapvona, her fascination with characters trapped by obs...

Meu Ano de Descanso e Relaxamento: A Obra-Prima Niilista de Ottessa Moshfegh
Meu Ano de Descanso e Relaxamento (My Year of Rest and Relaxation no original inglês), publicado em 2018 pela escritora americana Ottessa Moshfegh, é um romance provocativo e perturbador que rapidamente se estabeleceu como uma das obras literárias mais distintivas e influentes da última década. Combinando humor negro, crítica social mordaz e uma exploração impiedosa da alienação contemporânea, esta obra singular captura o zeitgeist de uma geração desencantada enquanto levanta questões profundas sobre saúde mental, consumismo e o desejo de escapismo radical.Ambientado em Manhattan entre 2000 e 2001, o romance é narrado por uma...

Ottessa Moshfegh. Disaccordi affettivi
Ottessa Moshfegh nasce a Boston nel 1981. Nei suoi testi, ampiamente tradotti in italiano, emergono personaggi dai tratti fra loro distanti ma legati da una luminosa dimensione soggettiva. Nell’attraversare la natura traumatica e vulnerabile dell’esistenza, alcune delle figure di Ottessa Moshfegh evocano il tema dell’isolamento, che sia cercato e agito, o che sia esito dell’intreccio tra il percorso personale e il tempo storico e sociale. Qui, tra tempo biografico e sociale, si apre uno spazio opaco dove il il soggetto nasce nello sfumarsi dei confini tra azione e passività; su questo si gioca uno dei testi più...

Ottessa Moshfegh on bringing Eileen to the screen
A few weeks ago we welcomed Ottessa Moshfegh to Shakespeare and Company. That night we’re headed almost back to where it all began by revisiting Moshfegh’s second book Eileen, the small town noir that propelled this experimental writer into the bestseller charts and onto the Booker shortlist. Eileen has just been adapted into a Hollywood film—directed by William Oldroyd, starring Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie, and with a screenplay by Moshfegh and her partner Luke Goebel.

“I always wanted to write for movies but didn’t really admit it until I moved to LA and someone asked me if I wanted to write a movie,” says Ottessa Moshfegh, the novelist turned screenwriter behind Eileen. “I studied other movies and loved learning the new form.” Ottessa’s screenplay credits include Causeway and Eileen, and some of her novels are Eileen, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Death in Her Hands, Lapvona, and McGlue. “It felt totally unnatural in the beginning,” she says of screenwriting. “There’s two versions,” says her partner Luke Goebel, in regards to their origin story. “One was...

Script Apart with Al Horner
Eileen with Ottessa Moshfegh and Luke Goebel
Something sinister simmers beneath the surface of suburbia in Eileen, a psychological thriller about pent-up desire, parental neglect and escaping the shackles of the life expected of us. It’s a story that first existed as a novel, launching the literary career of Boston-born author Ottessa Moshfegh in 2015. Since then, Ottessa’s career has skyrocketed: novels like Lapvona and the tremendous My Year of Rest and Relaxation have seen her lauded as one of her generation’s most exciting voices. Or as the fantastic Jia Tolentino once described her, “easily the most interesting contemporary American writer on the subject of being...

Ottessa Moshfegh: Lapvona
Die von mir so gefeierte amerikanische Autorin Ottessa Moshfegh, die 1981 in Boston geboren wurde und persisch-kroatischer Abstammung ist, ist eine Meisterin im Erzählen von Geschichten in denen es oft um menschliche Abgründigkeiten, Süchte, emotionale Störungen, aber auch den Wunsch nach einem besseren Leben, Anerkennung und Emanzipation geht. Diese Geschichten finden mitunter in ungewöhnlichen Settings statt, die auch als Allegorie auf das Erzählte verstanden werden können. In ihrem neuen Roman Lapvona, der bereits letztes Jahr im Original erschien und kürzlich, also Anfang 2023, auch endlich auf Deutsch durch den Hanser Verlag veröffen...

Nicht, dass ich Inspiration benötigt hätte, um einen weiteren Roman von Ottessa Moshfegh zu lesen, doch nach Herrn Falschgolds letzter Rezension die mich einmal mehr daran erinnerte, wie sehr ich diese Autorin schätze, kam ich zu dem Schluss, den letzten mir verbleibenden Roman von ihr zu lesen, den ich mir bisher noch aufgespart hatte und selbigen auch gleich zu besprechen. Heimweh nach einer anderen Welt ist aber kein Roman im klassischen Sinne, sondern ein Erzählband in dem Ottessa Moshfegh anhand von 14 Episoden oder Kapiteln einen Einblick in 14 verschiedene Leben bzw. Charaktere gibt, die, und...

Returning guest Alison Rumfitt (whose book Tell Me I'm Worthless you need to read) is back to get elbow-deep in medieval pee-pee and poo-poo as we immerse ourselves in Ottessa Moshfegh's Lapvona. Is she crypto-fash? A talentless shock artist? A doo-doo obsessed genius? Just a good writer who writes good books? We discuss this and Alison's new book, Morbid Obsessions, writing about the internet and ant genders on this unmissable new episode!

The Shakespeare and Company Interview
🐑Ottessa Moshfegh on Power, Magic…and her Pirate Ancestors🐑
Lapvona, Ottessa Moshfegh’s extraordinary fourth novel, unfolds in a medieval fiefdom of the same name. It’s a story of struggle in a world in which one human wields absolute power over another, but in which all must submit to a Nature that writhes and wriggles, and has still not been fully stripped of its capacity for magic. It’s also a world in which God and the Devil have a very real impact upon Lapvonians’s lives, and in which the next village feels like another world, but heaven and hell are within grasping distance.*

Ottessa Moshfegh on LAPVONA
"I wanted to write something that was going to take me away, literally and metaphorically, literally take me away from sitting with my feelings about the present moment and take me to another place and this time where you couldn't travel at all. I barely left the neighborhood to play out some imagined incredible drama … I think escapism has its purpose, you know, and so does fiction in general, if we want to live in the biggest world possible, we need everybody's imagination to be there in the ether so we can grab it and follow it and follow ou...

Ottessa Moshfegh on Lapvona
Ottessa Moshfegh (Eileen, My Year of Rest and Relaxation) discusses her latest novel, Lapvona. Born out of the seclusion of the pandemic, Lapvona is a work whose perspective-shifting, fable-like narration and medieval setting differ from much of the author’s previous work. During the conversation, Moshfegh deconstructs her characters and goes beyond the text at hand to address her writing more broadly, exploring the importance of tone in building genre and systems of information, and her relationship with the grotesque. Read an adapted excerpt of Lapvona: https://harpers.org/archive/2022/06/ina-ottessa-moshfegh-lapvona/ This episode was produced by Violet Lucca and Maddie Cr...

Alle Indizien sprechen gegen ihn, aber er erinnert sich halt nicht. Und das nicht, weil er sich Lücken auferlegt, um den Prozessbeginn aufzuschieben oder dem Strang zu entgehen. Er hat schlicht und einfach seinen Verstand versoffen.

Ottessa Moshfegh
In her book My Year of Rest and Relaxation (2018), Ottessa Moshfegh portrays a pre-9/11 artworld obsessed with style over substance. The award-winning novelist’s own introduction to the artworld was also in the early 2000s, and her experience at the time was colored by “a sense of impending doom,” she recalls. In this episode, Marc Spiegler speaks to Moshfegh about her literary foray into the artworld (and the fact that she’s currently hiding from it), transforming her books into feature films, and other current projects.

My guest this week is Ottessa Moshfegh, author of My Year of Rest and Relaxation. Set in New York City in the year 2000, it tells the story of a wealthy young woman who decides to go into hibernation with a cocktail of sedatives. Recently released in paperback, it’s darkly funny and wonderfully, unashamedly strange. Ottessa is undoubtedly one of the most original voices in fiction today, whose stories share an intriguing sense of the grotesque - and I found our conversation, which took in everything from being an outsider to why she doesn’t drink alcohol, utterly fascinating.
