Recensione:
"Wonderful" (Guardian)
"Strange and beautiful" (LA Times)
"A gorgeously sordid story of love and murder on the high seas and in reeky corners of mid-nineteenth-century New York and points North. McGlue is a wonderwork of virtuoso prose and truths that will make you squirm and concur" (Gary Lutz)
"You’re in safe, if sticky hands with an Ottessa Moshfegh story... Everything bulges and reeks in this novella, which feels as if it was written in a permanent state of nausea... The plot spins faster than its main character’s head. What elevates this novella are the scalpelsharp observations about McGlue’s nihilism and her prose, which is as distilled as the liquor McGlue necks. It’s a wild ride." (Fiona Wilson The Times)
"Moshfegh is... a superlative short-story writer... McGlue, which owes as much to Cormac McCarthy as it does to Poe or Melville, is an entertaining curio with some lovely baroque flourishes." (Alasdair Lees Independent)
