W najnowszym odcinku porównujemy „Prowadź swój pług przez kości umarłych” Olgi Tokarczuk oraz „Śmierć w jej dłoniach” Ottessy Moshfegh. Skąd taki pomysł? Otóż od kilku lat po książkowym internecie krążą zarzuty, jakoby Moshfegh co najmniej inspirowała się Tokarczuk przy pisaniu swojej książki, o ile wręcz jej nie splagiatowała. Amerykańska pisarka plagiatująca polską noblistkę? To pomysł na tyle sensacyjny, że musiałyśmy to sprawdzić? Co myślimy o obu powieściach, która naszym zdaniem wypada lepiej i jakie są wyniki naszego śledztwa? Tego dowiecie się z naszego podcastu.Życzymy miłego słuchania!Czytu Czytu prowadzą:Magdalena Adamus (Catus Geekus)Katarzyna Czajka-Kominiarczuk (Zwierz Popkulturalny)

Pri Založbi Pivec je letos izšel prevod romana Moje leto počitka in sprostitve ameriške pisateljice Ottesse Moshfegh, ki je v ZDA ob izidu leta 2016 naletel na odlične odzive in se je večkrat uvrstil tudi na lestvice najboljših romanov tistega leta. Črno-humorno zgodbo o mladem dekletu iz New Yorka, ki skuša življenjskim težavam ubežati s pomočjo dolgotrajne hibernacije, pri čemer ji pomaga trčena psihiatrinja dr. Tuttle s svojim gorečim predpisovanjem vseh mogočih psihofarmakov, je v slovenščino prevedla Miriam Drev. Prav zdaj prevaja že drugi avtoričin roman. Razgovorila se je o specifičnem okolju, upodobljenem v Moje leto počitka in sprostitve - privilegiranem, s potrošnjo in videzom obsedenim Manhattnom na prelomu tisočletja, njegovih kulturnih označevalcih in ženskem ponotranjenju idealov poznega kapitalizma. Z Miriam Drev se je pogovarjala Tina Poglajen.

From the author of Eileen and My Year of Rest and Relaxation, a story about weird people doing weird things. Read by Colby Minifie from The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Fear the Walking Dead. Michael Ian Black hosts this episode, which includes an interview with Moshfegh.

Czterdziesty, zarazem czwarty w 2024 roku odcinek Pauzowego Klubu Książkowego, spotkanie odbyło się 25 kwietnia 2024 roku. W kwietniowym Klubie omawialiśmy powieść „Eileen” Ottessy Moshfegh, którą na polski przełożyła Teresa Tyszowiecka.

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. My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Death in Her Hands, and Lapvona, her next three novels, were New York Times bestsellers. She is also the author of the short story collection Homesick for Another World and a novella, McGlue. She lives in Southern California.Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company.

​Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues    Rebecca Makkai, whose latest novel is “I Have Some Questions for You,” just released in trade paperback, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. Rebecca Makkai is the author of three earlier novels, The Great Believers, The Hundred Year House and The Borrowers, and one collection of stories, Music for Wartime. This latest novel is a mystery of sorts that takes place in a New England boarding school and involves a murder that took place twenty years earlier, a murder in which an athletic coach was arrested and convicted, but likely isn't the guilty party. In this fast-paced book, Rebecca Makkai takes on the #MeToo movement, misogyny in high school, true crime podcasts, and hidden abuse. The interview was recorded on March 2, 2023 at Green Apple Books on the Park in San Francisco. Photos: Richard Wolinsky.

Did you enjoy learning about books written by women in the modern literary landscape when Kate went on a long monologue about them several months ago? Have you potentially been pining for another installment ever since you heard the final dulcet tones of her voice tell you about Julia Armfield's masterpiece? No? Well, either way, she's done it again. Except now it's about OTTESSA MOSHFEGH, everyone's favorite social-media-propagated female author (the writer of this description does not acknowledge Colleen Hoover as a viable candidate for this title). Kate (who happens to be the writer of this description) hopes that her newest monologue on women in publishing, this time made with the aid of intensive allergy medication (she thought she had a cold, turns out her body's ability to withstand pollen is just terrible), is just as entertaining as all the others.

Po filmowo-serialowym Bełkocie (nr 11) wracamy do książek. Tym razem Emilia Konwerska, Agata Matkowska i Waldek Mazur chcą zainteresować was powieścią „Lapvona” Ottessy Moshfegh, która w Polsce w przekładzie Teresy Tyszowieckiej ukazała się nakładem Wydawnictwa Pauza. Moshfegh, urodzona w 1981 w Bostonie, pochodząca z wielokulturowej rodziny pisarka jest jednym z gorętszych nazwisk amerykańskiej współczesnej literatury – pismo „Granta” uznało ją za jedną z najbardziej obiecujących pisarek młodego pokolenia, jest też laureatką wielu nagród literackich, między innymi Pushcart Prize, O. Henry Award i Plimpton Discovery Prize, była nominowana do National Book Critics Circle Award i do Nagrody Bookera. W Polsce świetnie przyjęta została jej powieść „Mój rok relaksu i odpoczynku” (2019). W „Lapvonie” autorka, co może zaskakiwać, przenosi akcję do świata przypominającego średniowiecze. Nie zaskakuje, jeśli znamy jej wcześniejszy dorobek, to że sięga po groteskę, czarny humor, balansując na granicy tego, co nazywane bywa dobrym smakiem. Wszystko po to, by opowiedzieć historię o źródłach przemocy i bezkresie zła, o moralnym upadku, ale też o próbach ratowania się przed beznadzieją i szukaniu dobra w świecie przepełnionym pogardą i cynizmem. Udanego słuchania!

durée : 00:18:02 - France Culture va plus loin le samedi - par : Quentin Lafay - L'autrice américaine Ottessa Moshfegh présente son dernier roman, "Lapvona", un récit médiéval sombre et violent. Elle explore la notion de survie et de mystère dans un contexte médiéval. - invités : Ottessa Moshfegh Ecrivaine américaine

Ottessa Moshfegh joins Deborah Treisman to read and discuss “Two Ruminations on a Homeless Brother,” by David Means, which was published in The New Yorker in 2017. Moshfegh is the author of four novels, including “My Year of Rest and Relaxation” and “Lapvona.”

Jo and Adam prepare to celebrate the momentous, landmark, historic event everyone is talking about... that's right: their 50th episode! This time they're talking about satire and privilege, as seen in Otessa Moshfegh's stratospherically popular novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation (2018) and the recent films (now available for streaming on Amazon Prime and Disney Plus): The Menu (2022) and The Triangle of Sadness (2022). They also share their plans for the other (perhaps equally significant) occasion on the horizon - the coronation of King Charles III (who is here for a good time, not a long time) - and experiment with branching out into the weird world of ASMR.

You've likely heard about the countless benefits of magnesium for overall health, but did you know it also plays a crucial role in sleep? As one of The 3 Pillars of VIGOR, getting sufficient quality sleep must be a nonnegotiable for anyone who wants to maintain good health. Unfortunately, many people struggle with sleep, with almost 10% of Americans taking sleep medication. One way to enhance sleep quality is by getting enough magnesium. This guide explores the connection between magnesium and sleep, covers various magnesium supplements, and helps you find the best magnesium for sleep to optimize your rest. Why Magnesium Matters for Sleep Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including nerve and muscle function, maintaining a healthy immune system, and regulating blood pressure.de Baaij, J. H., Hoenderop, J. G., & Bindels, R. J. (2015). Magnesium in man: implications for health and disease. Physiological reviews, 95(1), 1-46. One of the most significant roles magnesium plays is in sleep quality. Magnesium contributes to the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, and supports the function of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and sleep.Abbasi, B., Kimiagar, M., Sadeghniiat, K., Shirazi, M. M., Hedayati, M., & Rashidkhani, B. (2012). The effect of magnesium supplementation on primary insomnia in elderly: A double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial. Journal of research in medical sciences, 17(12), 1161. Unfortunately, magnesium deficiency is quite common, with studies suggesting that up to 68% of adults in the United States do not meet the recommended daily intake.Moshfegh, A., Goldman, J., Ahuja, J., Rhodes, D., & LaComb, R. (2009). What We Eat in America, NHANES 2005-2006: Usual Nutrient Intakes from Food and Water Compared to 1997 Dietary Reference Intakes for Vitamin D, Calcium, Phosphorus, and Magnesium. US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. A lack of magnesium can result in poor sleep quality, insomnia, and even restless leg syndrome.Hornyak, M., Haas, P., Veit, J., Gann, H., & Riemann, D. (2004). Magnesium therapy for periodic leg movements-related insomnia and restless legs syndrome: an open pilot study. Sleep, 27(5), 1040-1048. Types of Magnesium Supplements There are several types of magnesium supplements available, each with unique pros and cons: Magnesium oxide: A common, low-cost option with a high magnesium content but low absorption rate.Lindberg, J. S., Zobitz, M. M., Poindexter, J. R., & Pak, C. Y. (1990). Magnesium bioavailability from magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide. Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 9(1), 48-55. Due to its poor bioavailability, magnesium oxide may not be the best choice for sleep improvement. Magnesium citrate: More readily absorbed than magnesium oxide but may cause gastrointestinal side effects, such as diarrhea, in some individuals.Walker, A. F., Marakis, G., Christie, S., & Byng, M. (2003). Mg citrate found more bioavailable than other Mg preparations in a randomised, double-blind study. Magnesium research, 16(3), 183-191. Although it's more bioavailable than magnesium oxide, its potential side effects make it less suitable for sleep improvement. Magnesium glycinate: A well-absorbed form that is gentle on the stomach and may improve sleep quality.Cao, Y., Zhen, S., Taylor, A. W., Appleton, S., Atlantis, E., & Shi, Z. (2018). Magnesium Intake and Sleep Disorder Symptoms: Findings from the Jiangsu Nutrition Study of Chinese Adults at Five-Year Follow-Up. Nutrients, 10(10), 1354. This chelated form of magnesium binds magnesium to the amino acid glycine, which has calming effects on the brain and nervous system, making it an excellent choice for sleep improvement. Magnesium malate: Known for its energy-boosting properties, it may not be the best option for sleep.Uysal, N., Kizildag, S., Yuce, Z., Guvendi, G., Kandis, S.,

"Sometimes I feel dead," I told her, "and I hate everybody."     Let's get lethargic, and philosophical, with MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION (2018) by Otessa Moshfegh. A rare pick from the world of literary fiction, this book feels like eating alone in a dingy restaurant at 3am. It's not horror, but you may be unnerved in a different way. (Stick around for some Gatsby rambling near the end!)   No spoilers in this one!    Theme: Magical Transition by Kevin McLeod Additional music and sound effects from zapsplat.com If you'd like to support the podcast, https://ko-fi.com/spookyaurelien

Rachel Kushner is the author of novels The Mars Room, The Flamethrowers, and Telex from Cuba, as well as a book of short stories, The Strange Case of Rachel K. Her career-spanning book of essays The Hard Crowd, solidified her place of authority amongst today's writers, covering everything from a Palestinian refugee camp to her young life in the San Francisco music scene. 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.

This podcast is sustained by sales of our debut book, Meow: A Novel (For Cats). Episode 5: Ottessa Moshfegh, Feline-Borne Illness, and the Evolution of Human Consciousness In 2007, a chance attack by a street cat changed the trajectory of Ottessa Moshfegh's life, supplying the impetus for her career-defining enrollment in Brown University's Creative Writing program. In her own words, “[Cat-scratch fever] was an experience that matured me…. I had and have a very keen sense that my time on this planet is limited and that can sometimes invoke great anxiety, but it is also a great motivation not to waste my time and to make sure my priorities are in order.”  In this episode, we discuss the etiology of cat-scratch fever, toxoplasmosis, and other feline-borne illnesses, how they affect the central nervous system, and how neurological changes resulting from these conditions may foreshadow the next stage of human development. We also examine Moshfegh's output pre- and post-scratch, from her early short fiction to 2022's Lapvona, noting her work's many B. henselae-imparted refinements along the way. To aid immersion, these ideas will be coded as a series of vigorous meows, proceeding without interruption for twenty-five minutes.  MEOW is the first and only literary podcast for your cat, conceived and presented in its native language.

Ottessa Moshfegh has made a name for herself as a daring novelist not afraid to be grotesque, off-beat, and disturbing. Her latest novel, Lapvona, takes readers back in time to a small feudal village, and tells the story of young boy who becomes entangled in conflict with the lord's family, and with the spiritual world. Moshfegh joins us to discuss.

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.

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.

Esta es una muestra de "Nostalgia de otro mundo". La versión completa tiene una duración total de 7 h 27 min. Encuentra este audiolibro completo en: https://bit.ly/nostalgiadeotromundo-audiolibroNarrado por: Paula IwasakiHay algo siniestro y desconcertante que atraviesa los relatos de Ottessa Moshfegh, algo peligroso, fascinante y a veces irresistiblemente divertido. Sus personajes son seres inestables: anhelan un gesto de ternura y desean, a su manera, convertirse en mejores personas; aun así, todos parecen moverse guiados por los impulsos más primarios. Débiles, retorcidos, a menudo estúpidos y crueles consigo mismos y con los demás: de esta extraña materia prima Moshfegh consigue extirpar una belleza oscura y eléctrica y que, en ella, lo que veamos sea en realidad nuestro propio reflejo. Nostalgia de otro mundo reúne sus mejores relatos, ganadores de los premios Pushcart, O. Henry o Plimpton Discovery Prize, con los que ha entrado a formar parte del universo literario de Flannery O'Connor o Angela Carter. La crítica ha dicho...«Ottessa Moshfegh es ya la next great thing de la literatura norteamericana. ¿Contrapartes en español? Sara Mesa, Mariana Enríquez o Elvira Navarro».Rodrigo Fresán, Vanity Fair «Afilada como una cuchilla». Zadie Smith «Una escritora bendecida, como Henry James o Vladimir Nabokov, tanto con la genialidad como con la crueldad».The New Yorker «Te abrasará como si fuera un soplete».John Waters «Posiblemente la escritora americana actual más interesante a la hora de escribir sobre el asunto de estar vivo cuando estar vivo es una sensación terrible».The New Yorker «Soy incapaz de recordar la última vez que me reí tanto con un libro. Estoy impactado y escandalizado a la vez. Esta chica es brillante».David Sedaris «No tiene una sola historia que no sea original o que no esté perfectamente construida. El talento de Moshfegh es único».NPR «Una habilidad preternatural para los relatos, impecablemente construidos [...]. Lo que hace que estas historias sean tan emocionantes es su ferocidad, su depravación, su violencia arbitraria y su capacidad para incomodarnos».AV Club «El título puede haberte hecho pensar que estos relatos están ambientados en el espacio exterior, pero ha hecho lo contrario: se ha acercado a la Tierra como si fuera un planeta extraño».GQ «Aquí todo merece ser memorizado».Village Voice «Una colección de relatos extraordinaria y sorprendente».Boston Globe «No hay ningún relato en esta colección que merezca que lo pasemos por alto. Cada uno de ellos resuena aparentemente sin ningún esfuerzo, con una prosa inefable, alcanzando, de un modo extraño, una nota adulterada. [...] Moshfegh es pura fuerza».Publishers Weekly «La escritura de Moshfegh es cinemática: vívida, inmediata.»Gwendoline Riley, Times Literary Supplement© 2022, Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, S.

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.

Nous avons créé une société au rythme rapide qui est excessivement occupée, dépassée et surexcitée. Nous pensons qu'il n'y a pas de limites à notre succès, mais si quelqu'un n'arrête pas de bouger, il prendra du retard. Les gens sont devenus robotisés avec le besoin d'agir, d'effectuer plusieurs tâches et de vérifier constamment leur statut en ligne. Ne faites pas de pause. Ne vous reposez pas. Ne prenez pas le temps de penser et de réfléchir. Notre système nerveux tout entier s'est donc formé pendant de longues périodes pour travailler à un niveau intense. Les neurotransmetteurs de notre cerveau activent le «gaz» pour aller si souvent et pendant si longtemps que la «pédale de frein» ne s'engage pas. Dans le sillage de cette façon de penser «faites-le maintenant», nous sommes nombreux à faire face à des luttes physiques et psychologiques. Cette sur-stimulation et ce stress provoquent des choses comme: • dépendances • obésité • dépression • anxiété • troubles de l'attention • des troubles d'apprentissage • problèmes de santé mentale • déséquilibres hormonaux • hypertension artérielle • cardiopathie • immuno-déficience • infertilité • troubles de l'alimentation • faible estime de soi • maux de tête • perte de désir sexuel • fatigue surrénale • troubles thyroïdiens • insomnie • vertige • troubles digestifs • instabilité de l'humeur • esprit agité • douleur • épuisement pur et simple • faible productivité • manque de créativité • troubles du traitement sensoriel La gestion du stress peut nous aider à prendre en charge notre style de vie, nos pensées, nos croyances et nos émotions, pour nous remettre sur la bonne voie, mais nous ne pouvons tout simplement pas éliminer tous les facteurs de stress dans nos vies. Au lieu de cela, nous devons nous adapter. Et c'est justement le sujet du balado d'aujourd'hui: comment aider notre corps à mieux s'adapter à la charge de stress.

Ottessa Moshfegh, one of America's most celebrated young writers, joins Kate and Daya to discuss her third novel, Death in Her Hands. Ottessa completed the book before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it has an uncanny resonance with this unique historic moment as it grapples throughout with issues of isolation. When, in the interview, Ottessa declares "being in isolation and not going crazy is a lot of work," she is speaking about her book's protagonist; but she could just as well be talking about anyone in the world during these days of Shelter in Place. Throw in a deftly crafted murder mystery, a central character reckoning with her own mortality and disappointing life as she begins to find clues and piece together the puzzle, and a dog in the lead supporting role - and it's pretty clear that Ms. Moshfegh has written a psychological thriller for our times. Also, Juli Delgado Lopera, author of Fiebre Tropical, returns to recommend House of Impossible Beauties, Joseph Cassara's vibrant debut novel set in Harlem's gay ball scene in the 1980s.

Ottessa Moshfegh is the author of the novels "My Year of Rest and Relaxation", and "Eileen", and the novella "McGlue". Moshfegh is known for writing characters wracked with depression and neurosis - and for the care with which she tends to them. Dark subject matter like grief and alcoholism are tempered by Moshfegh's keen sense of humor. On January 13, 2020, Ottessa Noshfegh came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk with Isabel Duffy.

O primeiro episódio de 2020 é sobre dois livros (porque eu amo quebrar as regras do meu próprio podcast), Meu ano de descanso e relaxamento, da Ottessa Moshfegh, e Pessoas normais, da Sally Rooney, que foram também as duas leituras que mais gostei em 2019. Apesar de não ter me identificado inicialmente com nenhuma das personagens dos dois livros, consegui ver em ambos muitas questões que eu e pessoas à minha volta compartilham e fiquei pensando se seria possível classificar esses livros como "leituras millennial". Será que é ok rotular obras assim? Será que as diferenças geracionais fazem mesmo a diferença? É sobre essas coisas e mais outras que eu falo nesse episódio. O U Ç A!Obras citadas:MOSHFEGH, Ottessa.

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.

PHILLY — Really hit close to home, this one, especially with how dang nippy out it's getting; feeling of late like hibernation is just about all I'm up for. Otessa Moshfegh's My Year of Rest and Relaxation (2018), her fourth book and second novel, is about a mid-twenties Manhattanite intent on blocking out the world by ingesting an increasingly harrowing cocktail of sedatives. Read it last week, mostly lying on my side, on my couch, on Benadryl, but also walking places, in the daytime, in the cold. In this episode, which I recorded at 7 a.m. while walking to the dentist, I get into why this character wants to block out the world and whether she's able to find her way back into the world. Also: my shifting affinities towards character-driven rather than auto-fictional writing. And: how being an alt bro doesn't change the fact that you're still, physiologically and temperamentally, a bro.

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. 

The unnamed narrator of Moshfegh’s compelling and unsettling novel is a woman who has everything: looks, a brand-new degree from Columbia, a job at an art gallery, an Upper East Side apartment, and a substantial inheritance. But her fairy-tale existence feels cursed. In 2000, she decides to escape her life by taking enough drugs to sleep through it all for a year. Aside from the psychiatrist who writes the prescriptions, she sees only a college friend and a boyfriend. Her plan works for a while, then a new drug, Infermiterol, causes strange and frightening blackouts and the narrator must face what it is she really needs. As she did in Eileen, winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award for debut fiction, Moshfegh writes with both humor and an unflinching attention to parts of life we’d rather not see, but can’t look away from.https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780525522119Learn more about your ad choices.

The protagonist of Ottessa Moshfegh's new novel, MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION, doesn't just take some time off from her job; she spends a year hibernating with strong sedatives, in the hope that she'll emerge transformed. The novel is a nervy modern-day rebellion tale that isn't afraid to get dark or find humor in the darkness and we ask Moshfegh about writing it. Megan and Clay recommend some overlooked summer reading picks and our editors talk about their favorite reads this week.

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.”

Otessa Moshfegh, whose short story collection, “Homesick for Another World,” has just been published, is interviewed by host Richard Wolinsky. The author of the highly acclaimed novel, “Eileen,” recently out in trade paperback, Otessa Moshfegh is the daughter of an Iranian father and Croatian mother, both forced out of Iran following the 1979 revolution. Her stories are filled with dark humor, focusing on how we feel about our bodies and our lives in this physical universe. Her vision is very idiosyncratic, and she's regarded as one of our up and coming authors. A shorter version of this interview aired on Bookwaves. The post Otessa Moshfegh: Homesick for Another World appeared first on KPFA.

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.

In the first of two conversations with Ottessa Moshfegh, the author reveals that she doesn't feel comfortable in this world. Her characters long for another world, as does Moshfegh.
