The winner of the Man Booker Prize will be announced this evening. Before the big event we got the chance to speak to shortlisted author Ottessa Moshfegh about her novel Eileen and how it feels to be under so much scrutiny as an author in the running for one of the world's biggest literature awards.

I'm reading Eileen at the moment and it's fantastic, absorbing, dark and hilarious at times.

Great!

She's lovely, very honest about what it's really like being a writer P.S. I don't think she was arrogant. I was introduced to her by her short stories (quite a few free to read online, Paris Review) - which have all these wryly described mishaps, weird scenarios, and lumpy underdogs. I hope she wins tomorrow because she doesn't write typical lit fic and her edgy worlds and work deserve more readers. Good luck Ottessa!!!

Hurrah! She's great isn't she. We'll be publishing the stories early next year and then following that with her novella McGlue which is amazing!

got that book in my local library by chance. maybe it is just my library has poor collection but Eileen is the book of the year for me. absorbing, dark, really creative, frank and just fucking good. I am anticipating the next one from Otessa Moshfegh.

Wow, this lady is cool! I've read McGlue, blew me away. Now I'm off to read Eileen.

What an interesting interview. She had some valid points to make, this in my opinion is honesty not arrogance. Looking forward to reading her book now. Big queue at the library for this. :-)

@VintageBooks 7 лет назад

That's good to hear about the library. Not only that there's a queue but that there's a library still open at all! Ottessa is great and not arrogant at all, in fact she's very enthusiastic abour the books she's up against tonight. Anyway, in a few hours time we'll know who's won...!

Great interview. Looking forward to reading her short stories and her debut which I have heard you are bringing (you personally) out next spring. Think she is going to be one to watch.

@VintageBooks 7 лет назад

Yep, it's all down to me that those books are getting published, she owes me big time! She's a great short story writer and the novella McGlue is amazing, I think you'll love it.
