dark tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.25

This book came from another planet. Its a pure essence of Moshfegh’s writing style and storytelling (i love her dont blame me)

Content Warnings

Graphic: Child death, Incest, and Cannibalism

Moderate: Physical abuse, Sexual violence, Religious bigotry, and Sexual harassment

Minor: Death and Gore

Although it was disgusting, I kind of liked what Moshfegh wanted to showcase. Might as well reread it again (not because of topics but because of characther analysis)
