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. So as well as diving into the book—reconnecting with the fresh, smart-mouthed, enchantingly twisted voice of our eponymous narrator—we also discussed the challenges of bringing that voice to the screen, what it felt like to see Eileen embodied, and the difficulty Moshfegh faced—if any— in handing her over to other artists…Buy Eileen here: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/eileen-2*Ottessa Moshfegh is a fiction writer from New England. Eileen, her first novel, was shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Man Booker Prize, and won the PEN/Hemingway Award for debut fiction.

“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 the dream and one was the reality. When we met, right from the beginning, we were talking about movies, dreaming about movies, which seemed more like play. Then, there was an opportunity.” Ottessa wrote a draft of McGlue as an adaption, but Causeway, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry, broke the mold for this new craft. “Reality suddenly came knocking with a pretty loud fist,” says Luke. For their partnership, proximity is a factor, jokes the couple, but it's also the intangible effect of a “short=hand.” Ottessa says, “It's really easy to say something or begin to say something and oftentimes, we don't have to finish our sentences.” “I feel comfortable saying I have this tiny shred of an idea and knowing it will be fostered and supported rather than just swatted away. In collaborating, you need to negotiate a lot. We do that constantly and it's safe to agree or disagree, and see things from a new perspective.” This “shared psychic language” of a life together, “shared pain, pleasure and joy,” comes from “fertile grounds for seeds to grow.” For their latest project, Eileen, the story follows a woman's friendship with a new co-worker at the prison facility where she works, but the friendship takes a sinister turn.

Kushner has won the Prix Médicis and been a finalist for the Booker Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award in Fiction. Ottessa Moshfegh is a stand-out in contemporary literature. With worlds and minds that manage to be both dark and intricate, as well as elegant and neurotic, her writing trails a unique and poignant thread of what it means to live in the now. She is the author of the novels My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Eileen, the novella McGlue, the short story collection Homesick for Another World, and she has three film adaptations in the works. Her newest book, Lapvona, is a medieval fantasy set in a fictional village struggling with the sordid aftermath of a plague; “part Dostoevsky, part Poe, and entirely her own” (The Millions), the book showcases Moshfegh at seemingly her darkest.

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.*SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR BONUS EPISODESLooking for Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses? https://podfollow.com/sandcoulyssesIf you want to spend even more time at Shakespeare and Company, you can now subscribe for regular bonus episodes and early access to Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses.Subscribe on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/sandcoSubscribe on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/shakespeare-and-company-writers-books-and-paris/id1040121937?l=enAll money raised goes to supporting “Friends of Shakespeare and Company” the bookshop's non-profit, created to fund our noncommercial activities—from the upstairs reading library, to the writers-in-residence program, to our charitable collaborations, and our free events.*Ottessa Moshfegh is a fiction writer from New England.

Anfang des letzten Jahres las ich meinen ersten Roman von Ottessa Moshfegh, der erst kurze Zeit vorher auch im Deutschen erschienen war und bis heute ihre letzte Romanveröffentlichung darstellt. Im Laufe der vergangenen Monate arbeitete bzw. las ich mich dann in ihrem Oeuvre zurück, bis ich kürzlich bei ihrem 2014 im Original und 2016 in deutscher Übersetzung im Liebeskind Verlag veröffentlichten Roman McGlue angelangt war. Die amerikanische Autorin mit iranischen und kroatischen Wurzeln hatte mich von Anfang an durch ihre Art zu beschreiben und eine gewisse Abgründigkeit in ihren Bann gezogen, weshalb ich auf ihr Erstlingswerk umso gespannter war. Daneben ist natürlich zu erwähnen, dass Ottessa Moshfegh vor ihrem Debüt als Romanautorin zahlreiche Kurzgeschichten verfasst hat, die in diversen renommierten Magazinen, wie dem New Yorker, erschienen sind.Wir schreiben das Jahr 1851. McGlue, der Protagonist und Namensgeber des Romans, seines Zeichens Matrose und ein Säufer vor dem Herrn, erwacht zu Beginn der Geschichte und wird alsbald unter Deck eines Schiffes gebracht, an dem er angeheuert hat. Dort wird er eingesperrt, denn ihm wird vorgeworfen, seinen besten Freund Johnson in Sansibar umgebracht zu haben. Da er aber nicht nur ein schwerer Trinker ist, sondern auch eine schwere Kopfverletzung hat, die er sich bei einem Sturz aus der Eisenbahn zugezogen hat, kann er sich an die ihm zur Last gelegte Tat nicht erinnern. Es folgt eine längere Schifffahrt, die er unter Deck verbringt und, die nicht nur geprägt ist von seinem Versuch, sich an das angeblich Geschehene zu erinnern, sondern auch, seinem ständigen Drang nach etwas Flüssigem beizukommen und Moshfeghs sehr eindrücklichen Beschreibungen der Gerüche, Stimmungen und des rauen Umgangs der Beteiligten Personen untereinander. Als McGlue schließlich an seinem Bestimmungsort Salem ankommt, wird er in ein Verlies gesteckt, ein Anwalt wird ihm zur Seite gestellt und es beginnt die Zeit des Wartens auf den Prozess, gepaart mit dem, den Roman durchziehenden, Versuch, der Wahrheit um das Ableben seines Freundes auf die Spur zu kommen.Soweit die Rahmenhandlung, die die Autorin aber nicht linear entfaltet, sondern, passend zu McGlues geistigen und körperlichen Zustand, vor- und zurückspringen lässt. Aus der Vergangenheit erfahren wir vor allem etwas über seine schwierigen Familienverhältnisse, die von Verlust und Armut geprägt sind und seinem Freund Johnson, der ihn quasi von der Straße aufliest – ihn damit rettet – und stets für ihn sorgt. Dazu gehört natürlich auch, dass er ihn regelmäßig mit Alkohol versorgt. So entsteht nach und nach zumindest der Teil einer Biographie vor unserem geistigen Auge, die nicht nur von vielen Leerstellen geprägt ist, sondern bei der man sich als Leserin auch ständig fragen muss, wo einen McGlue aufs Glatteis führen will und inwieweit seinen Erinnerungen zu trauen ist. Sehr geschickt streut Ottessa Moshfegh Zweifel an dem was uns ihr Protagonist glauben machen will und dem, was Wirklichkeit sein könnte. Durch ihr sprachliches Geschick und ihren Beschreibungsreichtum gelingt es ihr, sich beim Lesen ähnlich verwirrt zu fühlen, wie sich wohl McGlue selbst fühlen muss.Neben diesen Versatzstücken des vermeintlich Erlebten und Johnsons Tod gewinnt man als Leserin allmählich ein Gefühl dafür, welche Themen neben dem vordergründigen Alkoholismus des Protagonisten, dem Entzug von selbigem, den damit einhergehenden Fantasien und Traumbildern ebenfalls wichtig sind, wenn nicht sogar maßgeblich für sein Leben bis zum Zeitpunkt seiner Verhaftung. Denn sie schreibt auch über eine Gesellschaft in der für den Immobilienmarkt Leben geopfert werden, solange nur das Geld stimmt. Über einen jungen Mann, der nicht nur als Außenseiter lebt, sondern auch in seiner Familie keinen Rückhalt findet; es vielleicht auch gar nicht erst versucht, sondern sich gleich in sein Schicksal als Taugenichts und Säufer fügt. Fast beginnt man sich zu fragen, ob es seinen Retter Johnson wirklich gibt oder gab, oder ob er nicht ein Produkt McGlues lebhafter Fantasie ist, die ihn sich als Rettungsanker selbst erschaffen hat. Auch Homosexualität ist ein wichtiges Thema des Romans, welches immer wieder anklingt, ohne aufdringlich oder plakativ zu erscheinen. Das zumindest teilweise Ausleben selbiger scheint jedoch keine Erleichterung oder Grund für Glück zu sein. Oder liegt es am immanenten Wunsch lieber normal zu sein?Ottessa Moshfeghs Roman ist kein Seefahrer/Piratenabenteuer wie wir es aus vielen Hollywood Filmen kennen, obwohl definitiv ähnlich viel getrunken wird. Es ist aber auch kein Kriminalroman in dem die Leserin vielen Fährten nachgeht, um schließlich auf die Spur des Mörders zu gelangen. Verwirrt und ein wenig ratlos kann er einen aber dennoch zurücklassen, denn nichts ist gewiss und auch am Ende wissen wir nicht, welchen Lauf McGlues Schicksal nehmen wird. Aber wichtiger als dies zu wissen, sind die Themen die Moshfegh bearbeitet, wie die Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Existenz und dem aus Enttäuschung und einem Mangel an Alternativen resultierenden Fatalismus. Aber auch dem Versuch, das eigene Leben erträglich zu gestalten und sich in der Beschäftigung mit der eigenen Biographie Bilder zu erschaffen, die tröstlich sind. Ottessa Moshfegh ist eine Künstlerin in ihren Beschreibungen zum Teil völlig alltäglicher Situationen, was sicher auch aus ihren genauen Beobachtungen resultiert und sich ebenfalls in ihren Beschreibungen zwischenmenschlicher Konflikte und gesellschaftlicher Defizite manifestiert. Ihr Roman mag zeitlich in der Vergangenheit angesiedelt sein, die aufmerksam beobachteten Probleme in der Beschäftigung mit der eigenen Existenz sowie sozialen Faktoren sind es aber nicht.Nachdem ich nun alle von ihr bisher erschienenen Romane gelesen habe, kann ich diese Autorin nur ausdrücklich empfehlen. Noch mehr als McGlue haben mich jedoch ihre Romane Eileen und Mein Jahr der Ruhe und Entspannung in ihren Bann gezogen. Eine geniale Autorin von der wir hoffentlich noch viel lesen werden.In der nächsten Woche stellt Irmgard Lumpini das Buch "Ich träumte, ich hätte einen Wetterhahn gesehen" mit Erzählungen und Kurzgeschichten von Margarete Beutler vor, der überwiegend Erstveröffentlichungen aus ihrem Nachlass enthält.

The story you are about to hear is fictitious, but portions of the story are based on factual accounts. This is the story of a mischief-maker by the name of Luke McGlue. The Luke McGlue character transcends from the perceptiveness of his personality; the way this fictitious character might have perceived Dodge City through the realization of his times. In the mid-1800s, the people of Dodge had a legendary person in which they could blame all sorts of mayhem. His name was Luke McGlue. He was credited with many devious deeds. Many individuals within the community would pull a prank, then pass it off on another individual or on to a fictitious person by the name of Luke McGlue. The story takes place in 1877, a time when Dodge City Kansas was full of pranksters. In the story, Luke visits the Boot Hill resting grounds and meets up with a few unknown characters to administer the Keeley Cure.
Ottessa Moshfegh is a fiction writer from Boston. She was awarded the Plimpton Prize for her stories in the Paris Review and was granted a creative writing fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Her collection of stories, Homesick for Another World, was published in 2017. Her shortlisted book is My Year of Rest and Relaxation: A shocking, hilarious and strangely tender novel about a young woman’s experiment in narcotic hibernation, aided and abetted by one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature.

The acclaimed American writer’s short stories first appeared in ‘The Paris Review’, ‘The New Yorker’, ‘Granta’ and others. She went on to publish her first novella ‘McGlue’ in 2014 and won the PEN/Hemingway Award for her second novel, ‘Eileen’. Her writing is whip-smart and bleakly funny. In conversation with Monocle’s Chloë Ashby she talks about her third novel 'My Year of Rest and Relaxation', New York in the early 2000s, and why she writes.
On the heels of one of last year’s boldest, most celebrated novels, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, join us to hear from Ottessa Moshfegh for a celebration of a new edition of her groundbreaking debut novella, McGlue. Set in Salem, Massachusetts, 1851—the same year as the publication of Moby Dick—McGlue follows the foggy recollections of a hard-drinking seafarer who may or may not have killed his best friend. Discussing her sharply observational body of work that illuminates the exhilaratingly dark psychologies of wayward characters, Moshfegh will share the stage with Amanda Stern, the author of Little Panic, a fiercely funny new memoir on anxiety.

With her 2015 novel Eileen, the writer Ottessa Moshfegh married brooding suspense and dark humor in a story that drew readers into the heart of a disturbingly arresting mystery. That book was shortlisted for the Man Booker prize. 2018 brought Moshfegh’s critically acclaimed, bestselling novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation, in which the story of a young woman's unorthodox plan for self-care is the occasion for a surprising, brilliantly funny look at our anxious new century. Moshfegh joined us in this episode on the occasion of a new paperback edition of her first book, an award-winning novella titled McGlue, after the Massachusetts-born century sailor. His troubled story, Moshfegh says, came to her almost immediately when she stumbled upon a headline in a 19th century newspaper in a library archive. In this episode, she talks about the sources of her fiction and how late nights watching comedians on television may be one source for her razor-sharp sense of humor.

Ottessa Moshfegh's books are menacing and powerful; they're filled with intimate descriptions of bodily fluids and bowel movements, but, like Flannery O'Connor, they also cut deep into the psychic substrata of her characters. In this week's episode, Moshfegh discusses her process of writing these books—which apparently involves visitations from the paranormal. Last year Moshfegh was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for her novel Eileen, which is a story about a woman desperately seeking the connection of another human being. She also wrote a novella, McGlue, which is a kind of murder love story set in Salem Massachusetts in 1851. Moshfegh spoke to Ross Simonini about the source of the darkness and the weirdness in her fiction. In this episode, you'll also hear Organist fan fiction from comedian Dan Sheehan, known for tweeting as his persona @SICKOFWOLVES, who is “DEFINITELY NOT A WOLF PRETENDING TO BE A MAN.”
Homesick for Another World (Penguin Press) Ottessa Moshfegh's debut novel Eileen was one of the literary events of 2015. Garlanded with critical acclaim, it was named a book of the year by The Washington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle, nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award, short-listed for the Man Booker Prize, and won the PEN/Hemingway Award for debut fiction. But as many critics noted, Moshfegh is particularly held in awe for her short stories. Homesick for Another World is the rare case where an author's short story collection is if anything more anticipated than her novel. And for good reason. There's something eerily unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories, something almost dangerous, while also being delightful, and even laugh-out-loud funny. Her characters are all unsteady on their feet in one way or another; they all yearn for connection and betterment, though each in very different ways, but they are often tripped up by their own baser impulses and existential insecurities. Homesick for Another World is a master class in the varieties of self-deception across the gamut of individuals representing the human condition. But part of the unique quality of her voice, the echt Moshfeghian experience, is the way the grotesque and the outrageous are infused with tenderness and compassion. Moshfegh is our Flannery O'Connor, and Homesick for Another World is her Everything That Rises Must Converge or A Good Man is Hard to Find. The flesh is weak; the timber is crooked; people are cruel to each other, and stupid, and hurtful. But beauty comes from strange sources. And the dark energy surging through these stories is powerfully invigorating. We're in the hands of an author with a big mind, a big heart, blazing chops, and a political acuity that is needle-sharp. The needle hits the vein before we even feel the prick. Praise for Eileen "Eileen is anything but generic. Eileen is as vivid and human as they come... Moshfegh, whose novella, ‘McGlue,' was published last year, writes beautiful sentences. One after the other they unwind--playful, shocking, wise, morbid, witty, searingly sharp. The beginning of this novel is so impressive, so controlled yet whimsical, fresh and thrilling, you feel she can do anything... There is that wonderful tension between wanting to slow down and bathe in the language and imagery, and the impulse to race to see what happens, how it happens.” -New York Times Book Review “The attention that is now greeting Moshfegh’s first novel is not undeserved. Eileen is a remarkable piece of writing, always dark and surprising, sometimes ugly and occasionally hilarious. Its first-person narrator is one of the strangest, most messed-up, most pathetic—and yet, in her own inimitable way, endearing—misfits I’ve encountered in fiction. Trust me, you have never read anything remotely like Eileen.” -Washington Post “Her best work yet . . . What makes Moshfegh an important writer—and I'd even say crucial—is that she is unlike any other author (male, female, Iranian, American, etc.). And this sui generis quality is cemented by the singular savage suburban noir of Eileen . . . Here is art that manages to reject artifice and yet be something wholly new and itself in sheer artistry.” - The Los Angeles Times “Wonderfully unsettling first novel . . . When the denouement comes, it’s as shocking as it is thrilling. Part of the pleasure of the book (besides the almost killing tension) is that Eileen is mordantly funny . . . this tale belongs to both the past and future Eileen, a truly original character who is gloriously unlikable, dirty, startling—and as ferociously human as the novel that bears her name.”-San Francisco Chronicle “Charmingly disturbing. Delightfully dour. Pleasingly perverse. These are some of the oxymorons that ran through my mind as I read Eileen, Ottessa Moshfegh's intense, flavorful, remarkable new novel. ‘Funny awful’ might be another one. I marveled at myself for enjoying the scenes I was witnessing, and wondered what dark magic the author had employed to make me smile at them.” -NPR.ORG Ottessa Moshfegh received the Plimpton Prize for her stories in the Paris Review, and was granted a creative writing fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts. Her novella, McGlue, won the inaugural Fence Modern Prize in Prose and the Believer Book Award. Eileen won her the PEN Hemingway Award for debut fiction. Her newest collection of short-stories, Homesick for Another World, will be published by the Penguin Press in January 2017. She currently lives in Los Angeles. Kristine McKenna is a Los Angeles based writer. Her biography of David Lynch, Life & Work, will be published by Random House in 2017.
