内容简介
······
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.

评论 ······
很幽默，但是有点单薄呀，300页也不短了，但竟然觉得空空哒
Fucked-up is also a privilege.
原本以为Reva与“我”再也见不到了是因为生活态度分歧进一步扩大，看到最后才知道。“我”终于接受当下真实的生活，也许算是一种自我和解。还是挺有意思！
英文有声书。一两年前听过的，突然发现竟然没有标注过。女主一年里就是颓废嗑药和惹人烦。女主的朋友的结局其实更令人觉得人生的无常。
