    Content: "From one of our boldest, most celebrated new literary voices, a shocking and tender novel about a young woman's efforts to sustain a state of deep hibernation over the course of a year on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Our narrator should be happy, shouldn't she? She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, works an easy job at a hip art gallery, lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn't just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong? My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful answer to that question. Through the story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs designed to heal our heroine from her alienation from this world, Moshfegh shows us how reasonable, even necessary, alienation can be. Both tender and blackly funny, merciless and compassionate, it is a showcase for the gifts of one of our major writers working at the height of her powers"...

    Content: From one of our boldest, most celebrated new literary voices, a novel about a young woman's efforts to duck the ills of the world by embarking on an extended hibernation with the help of one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature and the battery of medicines she prescribes. Our narrator should be happy, shouldn't she? She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, works an easy job at a hip art gallery, lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn't just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city a glitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong?
    Content: New York, am Anfang des neuen Jahrtausends. Einer jungen Frau stehen die Türen zu einer Welt aus Glanz und Glitter offen. Sie ist groß, schlank und ausgesprochen hübsch. Gerade hat sie an einer Elite-Universität ihren Abschluss gemacht und arbeitet nun in einer angesagten Kunstgalerie. Sie wohnt im teuersten Viertel der Stadt, was sie sich leisten kann, weil sie vor Jahren schon ein kleines Vermögen geerbt hat. Es könnte also nicht besser laufen in ihrem Leben ... In Wirklichkeit jedoch wünscht sie sich nichts sehnlicher, als ihrer Welt den Rücken zu kehren. Von einer dubiosen Psychiaterin lässt sie sich ein ganzes Arsenal an Beruhigungsmitteln, Antidepressiva und Schlaftabletten verschreiben. Mithilfe der Medikamente will sie »Winterschlaf halten«. Aber dann merkt sie in einem ihrer wenigen wachen Momente, dass sie im Schlaf ein eigenes Leben führt. Sie findet Kreditkartenabrechnungen, die auf Shoppingtouren und Friseurbesuche hindeuten. Und scheinbar chattet sie regelmäßig mit wildfremden Männern in merkwürdigen Internetforen. Erinnern kann sie sich daran aber nicht ... Mit bissiger Ironie erzählt Ottessa Moshfegh von einer Frau, die verzweifelt versucht, ihrer aufgeputschten Scheinwelt zu entkommen. Der neue Roman von einer der wichtigsten neuen Stimmen der amerikanischen Literatur.
