'Candid, fast and alive' RAVEN LEILANI
'Fast, fearless, so full of life it practically vibrates in your hands' JUSTIN TORRES
'Wondrous and outrageous, real and incandescent and alive' BRYAN WASHINGTON
Lewis Jones is a party girl on the edge. Bankrolled by her husband Woody and accompanied by her fellow hedonist Kitty Kat, a hustler who knows all the best spots, Lewis bounces between the demimonde of 70s New York and affluent Black Detroit in a fractured haze of lovers, cocaine parties and champagne baths. But her wild pursuit of freedom is upended when she meets the handsome, erudite, cruel Brook - the only man who won't allow her to take control.
A kaleidoscopic swirl of sex and exploitation, selfhood and self-destruction, this lost classic is an unnervingly contemporary depiction of the collision between identity, freedom and female desire - perfect for fans of In the Cut, Oreo, Luster and I'm a Fan.
'Fish Tales will certainly dazzle you, and it might even scandalize you, but it never tells a lie' ANGELA FLOURNOY
'A novel of desire, pleasure, drugs and sex . . . We'll all be better for it having been rediscovered' LITERARY HUB
'Nettie Jones's voice is astonishing. It leaps off the page like a panther . . . Unlike anything I've ever read' New York Times Book Review
'A cult classic . . . [A] sharp, fast-paced look at the highs and lows of the human heart' The Atlantic
'A burst of authentic energy, a rush of life from start to finish' Chicago Review of Books
'An unsparing portrait of sexual hedonism . . . a meditation on female sexuality and the cost of pursuing freedom without self-preservation' TLS
