''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
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,
