The writing, character development and descriptions were excellent as with everything I've read by Ottessa Moshfegh but the plot was a bit too fluid and stream of consciousness for my liking.  Specifically, I didn't really want to be in McGlue's mind that was addled with drink and sickness, reminiscing.  I was hoping for a bit more action but it was not meant to be with this novella.  Still, the writing was excellent and, as always, I can't wait to read what Ottessa Moshfegh writes next!

McGlue came out earlier this month on January 8, 2019 and you can purchase HERE.  

My mind travels the cold hills of Peru where I got lost one night. A fat woman fed me milk from her tit and I rode a shaggy dog back along a river to the coast.

McGlue by Ottessa Moshfegh is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early January.

Originally published in 2014, the first-person narration has an immediate similarity to the befuddled and addled mental state of Captain Jack Sparrow; although this character, McGlue, just also happens to be a sea captain shuttled around and frequently assisted by lesser members of his crew as he recounts his surprisingly idyllic, God-fearing childhood while serving time in jail.
