Eileen - Otessa Moshfegh (9789669426697)

An opportunity to change your life doesn't happen every day. Any opinion, deed and action of a person can turn a dream into reality if you really want it. Otessa Moshfegh tells the story of a demure girl who lives a bizarre fantasy of escapism, whose life consists of nothing but a job in a boys' prison and an alcoholic father, and who spends her time stealing trinkets from stores, spying on Randy the guard, and solving her dad's problems that become further more serious. Eileen's dreams could have remained dreams if Rebecca St. John had not appeared in her life. Will the main character be able to escape from the reality of gray everyday life? What is she willing to do for this desired freedom?
