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.
