About this ebook
Dive into this gloriously sordid story of love and murder on the high seas.
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.

Developed and fascinating, a great character study. Its only flaw is an artistry that occasionally veers into obscurity, sacrificing clarity a bit too often to be fully cohesive.
