A couple loses their child in this poetic and devastating novel in which grief reaches âenthralling and mysterious pleasuresâ (Carol Maso). A couple named Catholic and Ethos struggle with the loss of their child. How? With fishtanks and jellyfish burials, Persephoneâs pomegranate seeds, and affairs with the neighbors. Fish in Exile spins unimaginable loss through classical and magical tumblers, distorting our view so that we can see the contours of a parentâs grief all the more clearly. âThe result is a novel that forges a new vocabulary for the routine of grief, as well as the process of healingâ (Publishers Weekly, starred review). |
