Reva often spoke about “settling down.” That sounded like death to me. “I’d rather be alone than anybody’s live-in prostitute,” I said to Reva.
And when I was awake, I wasn’t fully so, but in a kind of murk, a dim state between the real and the dream.
I resented her for that, but she seemed immune to guilt and shame.
Only the coffee made my heart work a bit harder. Caffeine was my exercise. It catalyzed my anxiety so that I could crash and sleep again.
You and me, just filling the space with nothingness.
I suppose a part of me wished that when I put my key in the door, it would magically open into a different apartment, a different life, a place so bright with joy and excitement that I’d be temporarily blinded when I first saw it.

1. 从费城回Providence，坐火车五个小时，刚好可以读完了My Year of Rest and Relaxation: 正是2000年，不具名的女主角年轻、美丽、富有、哥大毕业，然而她决定要休眠一年。读完有一点想到 Taipei ：都关于alienation，都trippy而冷淡、几乎不带情绪，像是磕high了看到的世界与...

I spent a lot of time staring at the ceiling that year, trying to cancel out thoughts about death with thoughts about nothingness. 这是读的第三本Ottessa Moshfegh的小说，有点失望。之前的两本都很喜欢，尤其喜欢短篇小说集 Homesick for Another World ，敏感又有点...

丧到几乎发疯的独白，慵懒又疏离的文风，充满了黑色幽默。也许有人觉得她在浪费生命，但休眠其实也是自我修复与觉醒的过程。

角色只想睡觉。我也看得昏昏沉沉，云里雾里，不太搞懂想表达啥🤔，女主5分之4的进度里都在靠药物睡觉，然后突然换了个想法，来了场几个月的真正长眠，最后整个人就性格也变了，什么都看开了…是想表达长时间睡眠或者深度睡眠可以净化改变一个人吗
