Homesick for Another World

A short story collection from Ottessa Moshfegh featuring characters who are unsteady on their feet and yearn for connection and betterment, yet are often tripped up by their baser impulses and existential insecurities. The stories are eerily unsettling, almost dangerous, and also delightful and funny. A showcase of the varieties of self-deception, with the grotesque and outrageous infused with tenderness and compassion.
