The Beach Boy by Ottessa Moshfegh -- Review --

The short story, “The Beach Boy” by Ottessa Moshfegh was published in the magazine "The New Yorker" in 2016. The narration is guided from the site of a married man. The author presents an everyday routine conversation between a husband and wife. It looked like it would continue forever but the death of a wife and the photo with some beach boy changed the life of the main character.
The process of transition of personality was described in the story most distinctively.  The main character wanted to find something fresh. However, the ending of the story leads the main character to nowhere, which may disappoint some readers.
Here is the link to the text of the story:
