Description

Michel Faber’s first collection of short stories is remarkably diverse, yet all 15 are anchored by his radically inventive and often surreal “Fish,” for instance, projects a futuristic world populated by fish swimming in the air, attacking humans at will. Published to outstanding critical acclaim, this prize-winning debut is a wickedly satirical yet profoundly moving collection.
“Somerset Maugham has shacked up with Ian McEwan, and [this] is their monstrous, magnificent first-born.” Duncan McLean, author of Bunker Man
