BLOB

‘Witty and wild‘ Harper‘s Bazaar ‘A strange but uniquely beautiful concept of a love story that delves into care, compassion and what it is to be human‘ Stylist ‘This is a sharp, funny and poignant look at what it means to connect with another being, and yourself‘ Weike Wang, New York Times Recently dumped and stuck in a dead-end job, Vi‘s life is a lonely mess. That is, until she stumbles across a mysterious sentient blob outside a drag club. She takes it home, feeding it a diet of cereal and reality TV. Soon Vi realises she can shape her gelatinous companion into the perfect man: attentive, outgoing, and with more than a passing resemblance to Ryan Gosling. But is Bob the blob really the answer to all her problems, or just a catalyst for further disaster? ‘Maggie Su‘s debut novel is nothing if not surprising.‘ The Times *Book of the Month* ‘A modern-day Mrs. Caliban, BLOB is a book that looks at identity and desire in profoundly interesting ways‘ Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here ‘Just brilliant - utterly original, charming and funny, weirdly real and really weird. I can‘t stop thinking about this book and I‘m telling everyone I know to read it‘ Kate Davies, author of In at the Deep End
