Moshfegh writes the grossest, most unappealing characters but I’m not complaining. I love crawling inside of her weirdo head via her writing.

are you kidding me? do i want to read about perverts? about disgusting men who rape, stalk and despise woman? about cheating husbands (and about cheating wives tho')? no. this book really pisses me off, it makes me angry, it haunts me.
