Eine Kleinstadt in Neuengland, Weihnachten 1964. Die vierundzwanzigjährige Eileen Dunlop hasst sich und die Welt. Sie muss für ihren paranoiden, alkoholkranken Vater sorgen, einen ehemaligen Cop, mit dem zusammen sie in einem heruntergekommenen Haus lebt. Ihren mageren Lohn verdient sie sich als Sekretärin in einer Vollzugsanstalt für jugendliche Straftäter. Als die schöne Harvard-Absolventin Rebecca Saint John ihren Dienst als Erziehungsbeauftragte des Gefängnisses antritt, ist Eileen sofort Feuer und Flamme. Sie wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher, als zu sein wie diese selbstbewusste, unabhängige Frau. Doch die Freundschaft von Rebecca Saint John hat einen hohen Preis. Eileen wird in ein grauenhaftes Verbrechen hineingezogen ... In ihrem preisgekrönten Roman beschreibt Ottessa Moshfegh das Schicksal einer jungen Frau, die ausbrechen will aus einer von dunklen Obsessionen und roher Gewalt geprägten Welt. Eigentlich kann man dieser Welt nicht entkommen. Es sei denn, man nimmt das Gesetz in die eigene Hand.

Inspiration and affirmation of the richness of a reading life
Format: Hardcover
I listened to Hooten Wilson give a talk about the book and immediately pre-ordered it. It did not disappoint. I haven’t binge read a book like I did this one since last year with Abolition of Man. It was a delight to learn more about some extraordinary and diverse readers such as Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglas, Dorothy Sayers and others. Hooten Wilson does an excellent job make a case for the ways reading both the Word and literature expands our capacity for living rightly and for reflecting God.

An excellent survey of Christians should read
Format: Kindle
I love how complicated ideas are presented in a very simple way. This deserves to be read alongside Joshua Hren's How to Read like a Catholic

Excellent book about how, why, and what Christians should read.
Format: Hardcover
Disclaimer- I cannot affirm the recommended book list at the end of the book as I am unfamiliar with many of the books. Jessica Hooten Wilson introduces us to four Christian writers throughout history whose writings help readers better understand themselves and the world they live in through the lens of Scripture. As we learn what shaped each of these writers and the contributions they made, we understand the importance of why we should read, what we should read, and how we should read. Through the work of these historical figures, she helps us to discern literal and historical context, look for allegorical and spiritual significance, and determine the tropological meaning with a anagogical perspective, and more! Wilson explains how the reader is challenged, convicted, conformed, and compelled toward godliness through reading. Through shared stories and experiences, we learn about others, God, and ourselves. Something is worth reading if it leads us to truth; not away from it (p. 33). While there are many benefits of reading, I’m not fully on board with the idea that reading in general must be practiced as a spiritual discipline. In the same way, I’m not convinced watching movies or listening to music must be practiced as a spiritual discipline. I think it is necessary for Christians to filter what we read, watch, and listen to through the lens of Scripture. But she is right- Christians should read the Bible as well as other books. As Wilson explains on page 150, even fiction should test our hearts as we seek truth. This book is excellent! It is well written, very informative, and very compelling.
