Old Newgate Road is the story of a father’s return to his childhood home, the site of unspeakable tragedy, and of the complex and often warring obligations–not least forgiveness–we have to our family, our friends, and our past.
Set in Salem, Massachusetts in 1851, McGlue is in the hold, still too drunk to be sure if he killed his best friend. 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.
