Full Description

'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

A hilarious and moving debut novel about a young woman who decides to turn a sentient blob into her perfect man...

Vi Liu's life is a mess. Having dropped out of college, she's stuck in a job she hates at a local hotel. Her ex-boyfriend has blocked her and she's lashing out at her family and co-workers.

One night, drunk outside a drag club, she stumbles across a mysterious sentient blob. She takes it home, where she feeds it a diet of sugary cereal and reality TV. Slowly, she realises that she can shape the blob into her perfect man: someone 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 a catalyst for further disaster? Sharp, strange and very funny, BLOB is a delightful story about growing up, fucking up and learning how to be a real person.

'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
