My Year of Rest and Relaxation: A Novel
Ottessa Moshfegh · 2019
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, Time, NPR, Vice, Bustle, The New York Times, The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, Entertainment Weekly, The AV Club, & Audible A New York Times Bestseller • New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century “One of the most compelling protagonists modern fiction has offered in years: a loopy, quietly furious pillhead whose Ambien ramblings and Xanaxed b*tcheries somehow wend their way through sad and funny and strange toward something genuinely profound.” — Entertainment Weekly “Darkly hilarious . . . [Moshfegh’s] the kind of provocateur who makes you laugh out loud while drawing blood.” —Vogue 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 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.

The Picture of Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde · 2025
Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray is a mesmerizing and provocative novel that delves into the complexities of human nature, the pursuit of pleasure, and the consequences of unchecked desire. Set in the opulent and morally ambiguous world of late Victorian London, the story follows Dorian Gray, a young man whose extraordinary beauty captivates all who meet him. When the artist Basil Hallward paints Dorian’s portrait, he unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that will forever alter the course of Dorian’s life. Influenced by the charismatic and hedonistic Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian becomes obsessed with the idea that youth and beauty are the only things worth having, and he makes a fateful wish that he might remain forever young while his portrait bears the marks of age and sin. As Dorian indulges in a life of excess, vice, and moral corruption, his outward appearance remains flawless and untouched by time, while his hidden portrait grows increasingly grotesque, reflecting the darkness of his soul. Isolated from the consequences of his actions, Dorian spirals ever deeper into decadence, leaving destruction in his wake and grappling with guilt, fear, and the haunting presence of his own conscience. Wilde’s only novel masterfully blends elements of gothic horror, philosophical fiction, and biting social satire, challenging readers to consider the true cost of vanity, the dangers of influence, and the eternal struggle between surface and substance. The Picture of Dorian Gray endures as a powerful meditation on art, ethics, and the price of living for pleasure alone. This classic work continues to captivate readers worldwide, offering profound insights into the nature of vanity, the consequences of moral decay, and the eternal conflict between appearance and reality. A timeless masterpiece. Its enduring relevance and haunting narrative make it a cornerstone of literary exploration into the human psyche and the cost of eternal youth.
