Homesick for Another World by Ottessa Moshfegh

2.0

All of the stories here were good without being great. They're all very alive, but very forgettable. I found that "A Better Place" was the only one I found moving in some way -- the rest just kind of exist, and that's okay, but not mind-blowing. Every person in these stories is very disturbed, for one reason or another. It's a collection about bad people knowingly doing crappy things to other people, who are sometimes also crappy/weird/disturbing/disgusting. Moshfegh's voice is electric, but there was something about these stories that was bored with itself, and it got kind of repetitive. TL;DR: I found this really easy to read, and the stories are all good, but nothing caught my attention in particular.
