MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION

Sinopsis

An acclaimed novel about a privileged young woman in New York City in the year 2000 who, despite having beauty, wealth, education, and an easy life, feels a profound inner emptiness. To escape her distress, she embarks on a year-long, drug-induced hibernation guided by an eccentric and questionable psychiatrist. As she navigates grief, toxic relationships, and deep emotional detachment, the story explores alienation within a society obsessed with success and surface perfection. With dark humor and tenderness, it suggests that withdrawal from the world can be a rational—even necessary—response to an unfulfilling reality.
