It’s hard to believe this is a debut, as I feel this might be Moshfegh’s absolute best work. It’s not an exaggeration when I say literary history will laud McGlue as a modern classic.
It’s equally hard to write a review for a perfect work, so I’ll just mention how this is a feverish, hazy book with a most cathartic ending. A must read for everyone.
