Product description
Discover the blistering first novella from the Booker-shortlisted author of Eileen and My Year of Rest and Relaxation.
They said I've done something wrong?.
And they've just left me down here to starve.
Haven't had a drop in days more so.
Salem, Massachusetts, 1851: McGlue is in the hold, still too drunk to be sure of his name or situation or orientation – he may have killed a man.
That man may have been his best friend.
Now, McGlue wants one thing and one thing only: a drink.
Because for McGlue, insufferable, terrifying memories accompany sobriety.
A sail on the high seas of literary tradition, Ottessa Moshfegh gives us an unforgettable blackguard on a knife-sharp voyage through the fogs of recollection.
Wonderful ― Guardian.
Strange and beautiful ― LA Times.
A gorgeously sordid story of love and murder on the high seas and in reeky corners of mid-nineteenth-century New York and points North.
McGlue is a wonderwork of virtuoso prose and truths that will make you squirm and concur -- Gary Lutz.
You’re in safe, if sticky hands with an Ottessa Moshfegh story… Everything bulges and reeks in this novella, which feels as if it was written in a permanent state of nausea… The plot spins faster than its main character’s head.
What elevates this novella are the scalpel-sharp observations about McGlue’s nihilism and her prose, which is as distilled as the liquor McGlue necks.
It’s a wild ride.
-- Fiona Wilson ― The Times.
Moshfegh is… a superlative short-story writer… McGlue, which owes as much to Cormac McCarthy as it does to Poe or Melville, is an entertaining curio with some lovely baroque flourishes.
-- Alasdair Lees ― Independent.
