Fully lives up to the hype. A taut psychological thriller, rippled with comedy as black as a raven's wing, Eileen is effortlessly stylish and compelling. -- Robert Douglas-Fairhurst * The Times * A sucker punch of a novel, full of fury and disgust, heart-wrenching in places, a masterclass in mood and tone. Eileen is a fantastic creation and a surprisingly satisfying antidote to the dozy and complacent heroines of much so-called literary fiction. -- Julie Myerson An unforgettable new American voice. * Los Angeles Times * The great power of this bookis that Eileen is never simply a literary gargoyle; she is painfully alive and human, and Ottessa Moshfegh writes her with a bravura wildness that allows flights of expressionistic fantasy to alternate with deadpan matter of factness As a character study, the book is a remarkable tour de force As an evocation of physical and psychological squalor, Eileen is original courageous and masterful. Moshfegh never panders. -- Sandra Newman * Guardian * A seductive novelMoshfegh writes beautiful sentences. One after the other they unwind playful, shocking, wise, morbid, witty, searingly sharp. The beginning of this novel is so impressive, so controlled yet whimsical, fresh and thrilling, you feel she can do anything. * New York Times * In the literary worldOttessa Moshfegh is seen as a comer, perhaps even the Next Big Thing. Eileen is a remarkable piece of writing, always dark and surprising, sometimes ugly and occasionally hilarious Trust me, you have never read anything remotely like Eileen. * Washington Post * Ottessa Moshfegh has created one of the great characters of recent fiction. Eileen is a modern masterpiece: cruel, grotesquely beautiful and merciless as a hungry wolf finding a lost fawn in the snow. -- John Burnside If Jim Thompson had married Patricia Highsmith imagine that household they might have conspired together to dream up something like Eileen. Its blacker than black and cold as an icicle. Its also brilliantly realised and horribly funny. -- John Banville Excellenta taut, well-written, and completely engrossing novelculminating in a dynamite ending. * Boston Globe * Perverse, squalid and sinister this expertly paced novel delivers a thumping finish to match the build-up: a single line near the end has the effect of a thunderbolt, leaving us dumbstruck by her sly, almost wicked storytelling genius. -- Anthony Cummins * Daily Telegraph *
