My Year of Rest and Relaxation
Our book for this week is “My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. Born in Boston, Massachusetts to a Croatian Mother and Iranian Father, Ottessa earned her BA in English from Barnard College and her MFA in Literary Arts in Brown.
Her writing style is characterized by her ability to portray lowlife characters taken with an innately pessimistic outlook on wider society, in the style of one of her influence’s, Charles Bukowski.

As she published her first non-fiction book “Slouching Towards Bethlehem”, a collection of essays of her experiences in California, Joan began to gain prominence as a writer and began to mingle with the last actors and musicians of Hollywood’s Golden Age; which came to an abrupt halt after Tate-La Bianca murders, carried out by Charles Manson’s followers.
