Here Moshfegh is much too heavy-handed when it comes to the ‘gross’ stuff, and every paragraph, or so it seemed, tried to be as repulsive and ‘shocking’ as possible. ![]() Maybe it’s because I can’t help but compare this unfavourably to Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest of Relaxation. Alas, in this instance, a re-read failed to make me a fan of Eileen. I picked Eileen up again hoping that, as was the case with other novels that I originally ‘didn’t really get’ (an example would be hangsaman, a book i consider to be an all-time fave now), a re-read would improve my opinion of it. The first I read it was back in 2018 I wasn’t particularly impressed by it, and in my original review I wrote that I found many elements within its story ‘excessive’ and that overall I found the narrative ‘flat’. These are some of the words that come to mind when I think of Eileen. Vile, vulgar, grotesque, sensationalistic, morbid, dismal, gratuitous, self-indulgent. There’s no better way to say it: I was not myself back then. “I was like Joan of Arc, or Hamlet, but born into the wrong life-the life of a nobody, a waif, invisible. Compared to My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Eileen just ain’t it. ![]() ![]() In an attempt to help Helen complete her task without distractions, Lucas tells her he doesn’t want to see her again and that he never loved her.
