'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
