Moshfegh's debut book is a gritty and suspenseful historical novella set in 1851, featuring a violent and alcohol abusive American sailor, who awakens from a drunken blackout to find himself chained in a ship going to Salem Massachusetts for the murder trial of his best friend.
"A sextant of the psyche, McGLUE works its grand knowing through
the mouthfeel of language; it’s a sharply intelligent, beautiful, and
singular novel. A scion of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Raymond Carver at once, Moshfegh transforms a poison into an intoxicant"--Rivka Galchen.
Fine, firm and tight in matt-laminated black stiff-card wraps with front cover design and image of an anchor tattooed hairy arm by Kathryn Fabrizio; original printed $15.95 price still intact to the rear cover.
