Overview

<p><b>Dive into this gloriously sordid story of love and murder on the high seas.</b><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br><b>'One of America's most exciting - and most provocative - young novelists' <i>Financial Times</i></b><br><br><b>'You’re in safe, if sticky, hands... A wild ride' <i>The Times</i></b></p>
