parton4proletariat's review against another edition
as for the writing, most of it is incredibly dull and gross for the sake of being gross. i did enjoy the writing in the book more than her other works, but all of the characters felt pretty much the same. I love unlikeable characters and gothic-leaning books, but moshfegh just fails to deliver. cool cover, though.
the vulture article says it best. what the hell is it with her and donuts?
