I want a book that lets me wallow in the mire a little longer. Nothing as overtly torture porn as A Little Life or sad for sadness’s sake, but more like Dante’s Inferno in how blatant it is on misery being part of the human condition.

My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh focuses on a woman attempting to escape her own consciousness and misery but is very much stuck.
