ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“My Year of Rest and Relaxation” by Ottessa Moshfegh follows an unnamed narrator in New York City who embarks on an experiment to "hibernate" for a year, retreating from life through excessive sleep, drugs, and isolation. Detached from society, her relationships, and her career, she seeks a complete escape from emotional pain and trauma. The novel explores themes of nihilism, privilege, and the search for meaning in a world that feels superficial and empty. It critiques the art world, consumerism, and self-care culture while presenting the narrator’s journey as one of both detachment and self-destruction.
