Mi año de descanso y relajación Free Audiobook Download by Ottessa Moshfegh

Ottessa Moshfegh's "Mi año de descanso y relajación" is a beautiful, often surreal, collection of short stories about the author's own yearlong break from the world. Her narrations are beautifully done as are her drawings and her short story writing is imaginative and unique.

Ottessa Moshfegh ha escrito sobre la necesidad de descanso para los científicos, la importancia del momento dulce en las vidas. También ha escrito sobre el tiempo que ella necesitó para recuperarse de sus emociones después de su separación. La autora concluye que el tiempo no puede ser apropiado para todo, y que cuando uno tiene tiempo libre, todo lo que quiere hacer es relajarse.

Ottessa Moshfegh's novel The Year of Fog tells the story of a woman who has chosen retirement from her stressful and unfulfilling career in publishing, but finds herself unwilling to relax. The protagonist, who is unnamed, goes on a trip to Spain with her parents and sister. She falls in love with an older man who is also retired. In order to deal with the anguish of her old life and new romantic entanglement, the protagonist descends into alcoholism and self-mutilation.

For this listener's first audiobook, it was a perfect start - attentive and enjoyable. The story is written in a fascinating, darkly humorous style that pulls one in and makes difficult topics seem approachable.

'The Year of Magical Thinking' by Ottessa Moshfegh is one of the best books that I've ever had the opportunity to read. The audiobook version narrated by ["Elsa Veiga"] is available for free and it was wonderful to be able to listen to it while driving around and doing errands. Elsa's voice fit perfectly with the story and had such a powerful effect on me as a listener, making me amble through the year trying to figure out what was happening with my family, my friends, and myself.

Ottessa Moshfegh's new audiobook, which is narrated by the author herself, is a novel about a woman who takes time off from her life to just be with herself.
