this story is a slap on my face. they’re not at all what we really want or who we want them to be.
"Mr. Wu." Homesick for Another World.
Of course Moshfegh writes incredibly complicated characters in an unsensored world, pulling the reader in so that they can't look away. She does this so well, this time following Mr. Wu through his journey discovering his attraction to disgust. There's a tension to Moshfegh's words that keep you turning the page, unexpected actions from her characters that make you wonder at what they're not telling you. The writing here is uncomfortable, dirty, and concise.
