La discapacidad en literatura puede usarse no solo como elemento distintivo de un personaje y motor de la narración, sino también como metáfora de colapso social e individual. Siguiendo esta idea, me centraré en la obra de Ottessa Moshfegh My Year of Rest and Relaxation, una novela de 2018 que narra las vivencias de una mujer WASP estereotipada en un contexto de creciente esteticismo y su consecuente pérdida de significado político en la sociedad americana de los años 90.
Utilizo Narrative Prosthesis (2000) de David T. Mitchell y Sharon L. Snyder para profundizar en el papel que la depresión del personaje principal juega en la novela y cómo esta sigue el patrón tradicionalmente encontrado en las narrativas de discapacidad. También uso el análisis de Jean Baudrillard sobre el estado actual del simulacro y los efectos de la misma en el individuo para explicar su experiencia discapacitada.
