Really liked this- i generally like short stories and Moshfegh’s writing style is really cool! There was only one story i didnt like, but one thing i didnt like over the whole book is a strange fixation on the description of fat people? it’s like they were used to make the stories sound more grotesque or something because almost every story has a overly “gross” depiction of a fat person
Graphic: Body shaming and Fatphobia
Moderate: Misogyny
