STYLIST
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Lapvona is praised for its compelling narrative and bold departure from Ottessa Moshfegh's usual style, indicating her potential to broaden American literature. Reviewers highlight the book’s blood-red vitality and raw depiction of human chaos, comparing it to a Francis Bacon painting. It’s noted for creating a world rich with timeless and topical superstitions and laws, and for Moshfegh’s talent in exposing underlying horrors with bleak humour. The novel is described as witty, vicious, and a testament to Moshfegh's unique literary voice.

First time using book hero last week and though I was sceptical , the two business books I needed were only available on book hero so I gave it a try. Before I got home the following day the books were already at my home !! That's super efficient ! I'm proud to be supporting a local business that outperforms the big players ! Well done bookhero !
