Eileen

 I loved Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh! She wrote My Year of Rest and Relaxation which was also very good, but this had a crackly, crusty, visceral drive to it, a momentum of emotional squalor and social disturbance. Her character was fascinating and dark and mean and smart. I didn't want it to end because I wanted to continue to hang out with this demented curmudgeon.
