Homesick For Another World by Ottessa Moshfegh
There's something eerily unsettling about the author's stories, something almost dangerous while also being delightful - and often even weirdly hilarious. Her characters are all unsteady on their feet; all yearning for connection and betterment, in very different ways, but each of them seems destined to be tripped up by their own baser impulses.
Razor-sharp short stories* Zadie Smith *
Moshfegh is consistently as sparky and gripping as she is inventive… She could become one of the most outstanding US writers of her generation. -- Peter Carty * i *
The characters in this collection are an unlovely bunch but make for an irresistible read… She writes terrific, attention-grabbing openings, and impactful last lines that don’t strain for a lapidary effect. Her damaged-girl deadpan snark is second to none, but she inhabits other character types with ease. -- Christopher Taylor * Financial Times *
She can really write and has a pitch-black sense of humour. -- Phil Baker * Sunday Times *
Moshfegh’s writing is cinematic – vivid, immediate. -- Gwendoline Riley * Times Literary Supplement *
