[Writer Ottessa] Moshfegh has found it more challenging to adapt some of her other works—the still-in-progress My Year of Rest and Relaxation “needs to be rewired,” she said. She also used that phrase to describe developing a version of McGlue, a murder mystery novella about a drunken sailor, with All of Us Strangers director Andrew Haigh.
