Brenna Hagan shares her review of the novel "Lapvona" by Ottessa Moshfegh. She summarizes the plot and the themes of the book, which is set in a medieval fiefdom and follows the life of Marek, a disfigured shepherd boy, and the other characters in the village of Lapvona. The novel is characterized by its brutality, and readers of Moshfegh's previous works should not be taken aback by the grotesque elements in "Lapvona.”
