Set in the affluent landscape of early 2000s New York City, this novel follows an unnamed protagonist who attempts to hibernate for a year through a complex regimen of prescription pharmaceuticals. Moshfegh crafts a biting, clinical examination of privilege, grief, and the desperate human impulse to withdraw from the demands of modern existence.
