Picked this up because i was reading books in the genre of fiction I'm currently writing and it's a banger (which is to say it is very sobering)

I’ve been in a reading slump and I feel like short stories always pull me out of it. Moshfegh’s collection here is NASTY! I love her evident distaste for basically everyone and everything lol. Big fan of her writing style and she makes me want to write too.

I have just started reading this book. But it already has a tight grip on my heart. Maybe I'm particularly fragile right now, but so often women are barely real people in media but these women?? these women feel real, like me or like someone who's looked into my mind, is holding my soul. Mythology was always cool but so violently male centered that it burned but this is mythology from the other side and it's so real.
