The debut novella from one of contemporary fiction's most exciting
young voices, now in a new edition. Salem, Massachusetts, 1851:
McGlue is in the hold, still too drunk to be sure of name or
situation or orientation--he may have killed a man. That man may
have been his best friend. Intolerable memory accompanies 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. They said I've done something
wrong? . . . And they've just left me down here to starve. They'll
see this inanition and be so damned they'll fall to my feet and
pass up hot cross buns slathered in fresh butter and beg I forgive
them. All of them . . . : the entire world one by one. Like a good
priest I'll pat their heads and nod. I'll dunk my skull into a
barrel of gin.
