Continue to ChatI don't remember reading much at all during the writing of Eileen. I go through several years-long dry spells and I don't feel like reading at all. I was working part-time for a guy in Venice, California while I drafted Eileen. He wanted help in writing his memoir. The research had a lot to do with the 60s, so that must have informed my sense of the place and time in my novel, and perhaps even the memoir point-of-view. He was also from New England. It was a fun job. I learned a lot about motorcycle clubs, Charles Manson, hopping freight trains. - Ottessa Moshfegh from https://whatsmyquote.com/quote/i-don-t-remember-reading-much-at-all-during-the-writing-of-eileen-i-go-through-several-years-long-dry-spells
