A remarkable book from the New York Times Book Review in 2017, this electrifying first collection from one of the most exciting short story writers of our time showcases the talent of Ottessa Moshfegh. Her debut novel, Eileen, was a significant literary event in 2015, celebrated by critics and awarded Book of the Year by both the Washington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle. It was also nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and won the PEN/Hemingway Award for debut fiction. Critics particularly admire Moshfegh for her short stories, and Homesick for Another World is a rare case where an author's short story collection is even more anticipated than their novel. Rightly so, as there is something disturbingly unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories—something almost dangerous—while they are also delightfully and even laugh-out-loud funny. Her characters are unforgettable.
