my first moshfegh read, I really enjoy her prose and voice, but this one isn’t slaying for me rn. I do want to read her backlog to find out why the girlies are OBSESSED. So I’m gonna stick it out for research sake.

“Is it ever possible to really grow up when you start smoking pot at age 11?” The most thrilling and emotional memoir I had ever read, ending with a line that shot me into self reflection. I look forward to reading anymore work autobiographical or otherwise that flea shares. And maybe, just maybe I’ll listen to RHCP

“ain’t no getting high without the come down”

Genuinely surprised that this author is a local to the area, because all of the places and car rides and travel times literally do not make sense. Also the place name dropping is literally straight out of a “The Californians” SNL skit every other line is about some other town in the Bay Area, regardless if it makes sense.

Yo I hate, the time jumps. I just do not understand why they exist? Maybe there’s a point but oh my good I need the plot to pick up bc I’m bored.

I'm already having a hard time remembering these characters and places, and I'm literally from this area. Honestly that may be on me, but I'm already a bit uninterested. Regardless I'm going to give this the benefit of the doubt, because I really enjoy the way the plot is unfolding/the authors style of story telling.
