老實說,我會讀這本的一半原因是我真的很喜歡封面🤣,兩個版本封面都是,尤其是重新出版的(我手上的),它讓我想起一款我很愛的遊戲Return of The Obra Dinn,有趣的是讀完後,我覺得故事也與這款遊戲有幾分相似。這本中篇小說,(短短一百四十多頁),是作者Moshfegh的第一本出版作品,她後來出了幾本十分熱門/廣受好評的小說,還曾入圍布克獎,My Year of Rest and Relaxation也是我很想讀的一本,在讀過這本有趣的小說後,讓我對它也有更多期待。
"I didn't want to make it. I wanted to lie down with it and strangle it and kill it and save it and nurse it and kill it again and I wanted to go and forget where I was going and I wanted to change my name and forget my face and I wanted to drink and get my head ruined but I certainly hadn't thought about making it. That wasn't anything I'd ever sought out to do."
