New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017

An electrifying first collection from one of the most exciting short story writers of our time

"I can’t recall the last time I laughed this hard at a book. Simultaneously, I’m shocked and scandalized. She’s brilliant, this young woman."—David Sedaris

Ottessa Moshfegh's debut novel Eileen was one of the literary events of 2015. Garlanded with critical acclaim, it was named a book of the year by The Washington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle, nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award, short-listed for the Man Booker Prize, and won the PEN/Hemingway Award for debut fiction. But as many critics noted, Moshfegh is particularly held in awe for her short stories. Homesick for Another World is the rare case where an author's short story collection is if anything more anticipated than her novel.

And for good reason. There's something eerily unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories, something almost dangerous, while also being delightful, and even laugh-out-loud funny. Her characters  are all unsteady on their feet in one way or another; they all yearn for connection and betterment, though each in very different ways, but they are often tripped up by their own baser impulses and existential insecurities. Homesick for Another World is a master class in the varieties of self-deception across the gamut of individuals representing the human condition. But part of the unique quality of her voice, the echt Moshfeghian experience, is the way the grotesque and the outrageous are infused with tenderness and compassion.  Moshfegh is our Flannery O'Connor, and Homesick for Another World is her Everything That Rises Must Converge or A Good Man is Hard to Find. The flesh is weak; the timber is crooked; people are cruel to each other, and stupid, and hurtful. But beauty comes from strange sources. And the dark energy surging through these stories is powerfully invigorating. We're in the hands of an author with a big mind, a big heart, blazing chops, and a political acuity that is needle-sharp. The needle hits the vein before we even feel the prick.

Effective for blemish-prone skin without over drying
Size: 4.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have skin that is both sensitive and oily/blemish prone, and I have found this to be very effective without being irritating or over drying. The consistency is a little syrupy which is very helpful in the shower or when dispensing onto wet hands at the sink. I feel like a lot less ends up wasted. More slippery gels can be harder to apply or even dispense since they have a tendency to well, slip off the hand and down the drain before making it to the skin. A little goes a long way and (in conjunction with a good moisturizer!) it seems to help loosen black heads and sebum plugs better than a lot of other products I have tried. It does take a little more effort to rinse it off thoroughly, but that also means it can work well in lieu of a separate shaving gel, which I appreciate. I like the mild citrusy scent. I smell it while I am using it but it doesn’t linger overly after being rinsed off. I used that generic yellow salicylic acid cleanser for a long time and this is much nicer without being overly pricey. I would say it compares very favorably with other more high end cleansers I have tried in terms of quality and effectiveness, so it is a pretty good value.
