i was so thoroughly entertained by the main character's shenanigans that i read this book in a single day. the MC's absurd personality/outlook on life (which was, again, extremely entertaining) made it difficult for me to understand the "serious" discussions about art, performance, capitalism, etc. 

Spoiler

also screaming bc i found out moshfegh writes a lot about butt stuff. like, miss ottessa you are one hell of a white woman i must say
