Homesick for Another World by Ottessa Moshfegh

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
The first story was fine, but very boring. The second and third stories though, were disturbing. Not the good, artistic kind of disturbing, but the plain old weird and gross kind. I felt the stories had no clear purpose and the author was trying to be deep but failing miserably. Otessa Moshfegh is one of my favourite authors but I have noticed that she has this trend of trying to be deep and doing it way to intensly. Maybe that's intended but I don't like it and it drags her books along and makes them pretty boring. In conclusion, this book seems like something she just wrote up in her spare time to try and be edgy or something by fetishizing eating disorders and predators. This book was extremly triggering definetly look at the tw before reading it.
