SYP Oxford Book Club – January 2019

Come join us for our first book club of 2019! We’ll be meeting at The Cape of Good Hope to discuss Ottessa Moshfegh’s New York Time Bestseller, My Year Of Rest And Relaxation.

Our narrator is young, thin and pretty. She’s just graduated from Colombia. She has an easy job at a hip art gallery and an inheritance which covers an apartment on the Upper East Side. But something is missing. It’s not the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her. It’s 2000 and the city glitters with wealth and opportunity.

So what’s wrong?

This is a shocking and funny look at a woman’s experiment in narcotic hibernation.
