Ottessa Moshfegh

In her book My Year of Rest and Relaxation (2018), Ottessa Moshfegh portrays a pre-9/11 artworld obsessed with style over substance­. The award-winning novelist’s own introduction to the artworld was also in the early 2000s, and her experience at the time was colored by “a sense of impending doom,” she recalls. In this episode, Marc Spiegler speaks to Moshfegh about her literary foray into the artworld (and the fact that she’s currently hiding from it), transforming her books into feature films, and other current projects.
