McGlue

FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIKTOK SENSATIONS MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION AND LAPVONA

Read the novel that catapulted Ottessa Moshfegh to literary stardom- a gorgeously sordid story of love and murder on the high seas

'One of America's most exciting - and most provocative - young novelists' Financial Times

'You're in safe, if sticky hands... A wild ride' The Times

Somewhere in the Indian Ocean, 1851- McGlue is down in the hold, still too drunk to be sure of his name, situation or orientation - but he has blood on his hands. He may have killed a man. That man may have been his best friend. As the ship makes its voyage home to Salem, Massachusetts, intolerable memory accompanies reluctant sobriety.

A-sail on the high seas of literary tradition, Ottessa Moshfegh gives us a nasty heartless blackguard on a knife-sharp voyage through the fogs of recollection.
